Homemade mustard #1

1 Cup

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¼ cup Dry mustard; Colemans
¼ cup White wine vinegar
⅓ cup Dry white wine
1 tablespoon Sugar
½ teaspoon Salt
3 Egg yolks

Directions

You begin with dry mustard, adding vinegar for tartness and wine for mellowness; then you cook with egg yolks to give the spread its velvety smooth texture. You can season the mildly flavored mustard as suggested, or leave if plain.

For gift-giving, package the mustards in jars and identify them with decorative labels. In top of a double boiler, stir together mustard, vinegar, wine, sugar, and salt. Let stand, uncovered, for 2 hours.

Beat egg yolks into mustard mixture. Place over simmering water and cook, stirring with a wire whisk, until mixture thickens slightly (about 5 minutes). Pour into small jars and let cool. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to a month. Makes about 1 cup.
