Instructions 

  • Measure the white wine and the white wine vinegar into a glass container (I used a bowl)
  • 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.
  • Use a plastic spoon or silicone spatula to stir the mustard ingredients.
  • 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.
  • After 48 hours pour the fermented mustard ingredients into a small food processor or blender. Pulse 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.
  • If after adding all of the water 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. Spicy brown mustard should be very thick and spreadable.
  • Pour the Whole Grain Dijon Mustard into a glass jar and refrigerate.
  • Makes about 3 cups.

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.
