Hi JazzDuke,

Yes, I've made my own wholegrain mustards, and again, not from own saved seeds(!) and so have recipes/ideas to offer.
Will get back to you with them as soon as I can....

German mustard?

Hi JD, I was brought up on English mustard, never caught on to French mustards, love German mustard! The sort you spread lavishly on your bratwurst-in-a-bun If you like it, you could try making your own

1/2 cup mustard seeds
2 tbsp dry mustard
1/2 cup cold water
1 cup cider vinegar
1 small onion or 1-2 shallots, chopped (about 1/4 cup pressed down)
3 tbsp packed brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dried tarragon
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon


Combine mustard seeds, dry mustard and water in a small bowl. Cover and let stand overnight.

Combine vinegar, onion, brown sugar, garlic, salt, tarragon and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce to medium. Boil, uncovered, for about 7 - 10 minutes until reduced by half.

Pour vinegar mix through a fine sieve into a food processor bowl. Rinse saucepan and set aside. Add mustard mix to the vinegar mix; process in food processor about a minute or until mustard seeds are chopped but not pur�ed. Pour into rinsed saucepan. Cook over low heat until mustard is thick, stirring constantly. Store in airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 year.

If it starts to look dry at any time during storage, add a little white wine.

I was going to post up Tarragon Grain Mustard, but you've beaten me to it!

For something completely different, Moutarde au cassis, has Creme de Cassis liqueur added, which gives it a rich, fruity flavour and red colour.
Or try adding green peppercorns or chillies, or dill.....

Horseradish and honey are a couple of possibilities.

Made some lovely honey mustard by whizzing yellow mustard seeds soaked in vinegar. Now I want to make some more types and economically. Where can I buy cheap yellow mustard seeds and mustard powder in kilogram quantities? (Have seen them online but then get killed by the p&p). Unfortunately Indian cookery uses black mustard seeds only so that is one avenue out.
