Homemade Dijon Mustard

This homemade mustard recipe makes about 32 ounces of Dijon Mustard.

It will have to be canned in Ball 4 oz canning jars using the hot water bath method of canning to make it shelf-stable and be able to be stored.

You can not hot water bath can it in larger jars.

Homemade Dijon Mustard is delicious. It has a wonderful spicy flavor and tastes perfect on a sandwich or smeared on some cheese and crackers.

If you have ever wanted to make homemade mustard than you should make this Dijon mustard recipe.

For the holiday gift-giving season, I decided to make a couple of Christmas Gift Baskets that homemade Dijon Mustard would work well with.

I made a Wine Lovers Gift Basket with cheese and crackers that is perfect.

And an easy cheese and sausage gift basket that this Homemade Dijon Mustard is perfect for.

How to can Homemade Dijon Mustard

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped onion
  • 6 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
  • 2 cups Pinot Grigio or other dry white wine
  • 1 cup white wine vinegar (5% acidity)
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 4 whole black peppercorns
  • 1 rosemary sprig
  • 1 cup yellow mustard seeds
  • ⅓ cup dry powdered mustard
  • 2 ⅔ cups water

Directions

  1. Combine the chopped onion, chopped garlic, dry white wine, white wine vinegar, salt, black pepper corns and rosemary sprig in a large stainless-steel or enamel saucepan.
  2. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 15 to 20 minutes or until the onion is very soft and translucent, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove the pan from heat; pour the onion mixture through a mesh strainer into a glass or stainless steel bowl. Discard solids.
  4. Stir the yellow mustard seeds and dry mustard into the onion liquid in the bowl. Cover and let stand at room temperature at least 24 hours, but no longer than 48 hours.
  5. Process the mustard mixture in a blender or food processor, adding the water until the consistency of cooked oatmeal.
  6. Transfer the mustard to a small stainless steel or enamel saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring often; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes.
  7. Ladle the hot mustard into a hot jar, leaving ¼ inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Wipe the jar rim with a damp lint free paper towel. Center a flat lid on the jar. Apply the band and adjust to finger-tip tight. Place jar in the boiling water canner. Repeat until all jars are filled.
  8. Process the jars 10 minutes, adjusting for high altitude. Turn off the heat, remove the lid, and let jars stand 5 minutes. Remove the jars and cool.
  9. Makes 6-8 four-ounce jars.

Equipment needed to make Homemade Dijon Mustard

  • Strong Blender like the Ninja Professional Blender
  • Mixing bowls like these Pyrex Prepware 3-Piece Glass Mixing Bowl Set
  • A fine mesh strainer like this Double Mesh Strainer, Stainless Steel, Wooden Handled strainer
  • Kitchen towels for protecting surfaces, cushioning the hot jars and clean up like these KAF Home Oversized Flour Sack Kitchen Towels
  • A ladle to fill the hot jars with cooked mustard like this Flirty Kitchens Nonstick Ladle Spoons
  • A long-handled wooden spoon to stir as you soak and cook the mustard like these Birchwood Long Handle Wooden Cooking Mixing Spoons
  • A canning bubble remover and headspace checker tool like this Ball Bubble Remover & Head Space Tool or this Ball Utensil Set for Preserving that has almost all the tools you need for canning.
  • A wide mouth funnel for easily filling the jars with hot mustard like this Norpro Wide Mouth Plastic Funnel, Green
  • A strong and safe Jar griper like this Ball Secure-Grip Jar Lifter which is the best jar lifter I have ever used.
  • If you are short on space or have a glass-topped stove that you can not use when canning the Ball FreshTech Electric Water Bath Canner is what I use when canning.
  • You will need 4 oz canning jars. This is the only size canning jar you can use for this homemade Dijon mustard recipe. I used Ball 4 oz. Quilted Crystal Jars.
  • You will also need a stainless steel or not reactive pot to soak and cook the Dijon mustard in like this 6-Quart Stainless Steel Stockpot with Lid

    By the way, it is very good! Reminds of the mustard I grew with in France.

    You mentioned a few times that this recipe can only be water bath canned in 4 oz jars, but never explained why.
    Why can’t I can it in 8 oz jars? Thank you

      Betty, it keeps just like any other mustard when you refrigerate it. I usually open and use a jar in less than a month. But it should keep for a couple of months refrigerated. The jars are small so it's pretty easy to finish one off in a couple of weeks.

    Can you use the same size jar but with tight fitting metal lids?

      I am not sure what you are asking. You must use the same size jar the recipe calls for and the flat lid and band used for canning. There are only 2 sizes of canning lids. Wide Mouth Lids or Regular lids. This recipe calls for the regular size canning lids.

    Did I miss how the shelf life on the canned mustard?

      Judy all water bath canned items have a 12 month shelf life. Unless you are using the new Ball flat lids that have an 18 month shelf life. (affiliate link) Ball Canning
