Homemade Dijon Mustard Recipe
I have been wanting to make homemade dijon mustard for years.
I finally found this easy Homemade Dijon Mustard recipe in one of the Ball canning books. It is perfect for an easy homemade holidays gift for Christmas.
Homemade Dijon Mustard
This homemade Dijon 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 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. And an easy cheese gift basket with a sausage roll that this Homemade Dijon Mustard tastes divine with.
This homemade Dijon Mustard would also be perfect for a little hostess gift during the upcoming Christmas party season.
