Sweet German-Style Mustard

1/4 c. Mustard seed
5 TB Mustard powder
1/2 c. Hot water
1/2 c. Cider vinegar
1 TB Dried onion flakes
2 TB Brown sugar
1/2 ts Salt
2 sm.Garlic cloves, cut in 1/2
1/4 ts Cinnamon
1/4 ts Allspice
1/4 ts Dill seeds
1/4 ts Dried tarragon
2 pn Powdered cloves
3 TB Honey


The night before, or at least 2 hrs. before: Combine seeds, powder, hot water & vinegar in a ceramic bowl.

Next day, or when ready: combine remaining ingredients in a small saucepan, minus the honey. Bring to a boil, reduce heat & let bubble gently for a minute. Remove from heat & let sit until thoroughly cool (45 min. or so). Stir in honey.

Place initial mustard mixture in work bowl of processor (or blender). Strain spice and vinegar mixture into bowl. Process until seeds are ground; this may take 3-5 minutes, with occasional scraping down.

Place mixture in double boiler and warm, stirring often, over simmering water until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Mustard will thicken further upon standing.

When cool, ladle into a clean jar & refrigerate.
