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 puréed. 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.
