I have made a homemade Dijon Mustard recipe that needed to be processed in a hot water bath canner.

It tastes amazing but I needed an easier version of homemade Dijon mustard I could make that didn't require all the steps to make a shelf stable and preserved by canning Dijon mustard recipe.

The other mustard recipe required canning equipment and I am sure most of you probably don't have those supplies on hand.

The great thing about that processed Dijon mustard recipe is that you can make one batch of about 6 jars and store the mustard in the cabinet for 18 months.

You can't do that with this whole grain mustard recipe.

Step 1: Mix the 6 mustard ingredients together in a bowl.

Step 2: Soak the ingredients.

Step 3: Blend the mustard ingredients.

This easy whole grain Dijon mustard recipe is delicious spread on a sandwich, burger or used to make the best honey mustard for chicken wings.

FAQ

Equipment & Supplies

• Mustard Seeds: You will need brown mustard seeds and yellow mustard seeds
• Glass bowl or large jar: A glass container is recommended when making homemade mustard so the ingredients during the soaking/fermenting time do not have a reaction to a metal or plastic container changing the flavor.
• Blending the mustard: a stick blender, small food processor or blender is needed to grind the whole mustard seeds into smaller bits.

Recipe Prep

The most difficult part of making homemade Whole Grain Dijon Mustard is finding the mustard seeds.

You will probably need to order brown and yellow mustard seeds online.

You will need four tablespoons of each the brown and yellow mustard seeds. This doesn't sound like much and you could probably buy multiple bottles on the spice aisle but you are going to pay a lot more buying it that way. It is cheaper to buy a pound of each type of mustard seed online.

Plus you will have plenty of mustard seeds left over so you can make this recipe again and trust me you will want to make this recipe again.

Dijon Mustard Ingredients

• ½ cup white wine (I used Pinot Grigio)
• ½ cup white wine vinegar
• 4 tablespoons brown mustard seeds
• 4 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons granulated white sugar
• ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

1. Measure the white wine and the white wine vinegar into a glass container (I used a bowl)
2. Add the 4 tablespoons of brown mustard seeds and 4 tablespoons of yellow mustard seeds to the bowl. Measure the sugar and the Kosher salt into the bowl.
3. Use a plastic spoon or silicone spatula to stir the mustard ingredients.
4. Place a piece of plastic wrap or cheese cloth over the top of the bowl. Place the bowl on the counter and let the mustard ingredients ferment for 48 hours.
5. After 48 hours pour the fermented mustard ingredients into a small food processor or blender. Pulse the mustard seeds to combine them with the liquid. Begin to slowly add the water to the mixture a little bit at a time. Pulse between each addition until the grainy mustard is the consistency that you like.
6. If after adding all of the water if you still want a thinner less grainy mustard continue adding water 1 teaspoon at a time and blending. Do not add too much water though. Grain brown mustard should be very thick and spreadable.
7. Pour the Whole Grain Dijon Mustard into a glass jar and refrigerate. (SEE NOTES)
8. Homemade mustard will last up to 6 months if stored and refrigerated properly.

There you have it! I told you it was easy to make homemade grainy mustard at home. Now go make a thick ham sandwich or grill some sausage on the grill. You deserve a treat today!

Recipe Expert Tips

• Glass bowl or large jar: A glass container is recommended when making homemade mustard so the ingredients during the soaking/fermenting time do not have a reaction to a metal or plastic container changing the flavor.
• Blending the mustard: a stick blender, small food processor or blender is needed to grind the whole mustard seeds into smaller bits.
• How long does it last?: Homemade mustard will last up to 6 months if stored and refrigerated properly.
• Storing: To help your mustard last longer put about a ½ cup to 1 cup of mustard in one container and the remaining mustard in another container. When serving use the smaller container to serve. This will prevent the large batch of mustard from being contaminated.
