Total Time: 4 hrs 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 4 hrs

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup mustard seeds
• 2 tablespoons dry mustard
• 3/4 cup water
• 3/4 cup wine vinegar (tarragon is good) or 3/4 cup herb-flavored vinegar (tarragon is good)
• 1 tablespoon honey

• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh sage, chopped

Recipe

• 1 place the mustard seeds and dry mustard in a spice grinder or blender and blend until the seeds are broken up. a coarse grind gives the mustard some texture. place the ground mustard seed and dry mustard in a bowl and pour the water over the top. stir and cover. let the mixture stand for 4 to 5 hours, stirring a few times.
• 2 put the mixture in a food processor and add vinegar, honey, sugar, salt, pepper, basil, thyme, rosemary, and sage. puree until it's smooth. if mustard seems too dry, add warm water to make a smooth paste. store in a jar at room temperature until the mustard mellows to your taste, up to 2 weeks for a very mellow mustard. enjoy!
