I lived in Newport, RI for a while in the late 1960's. Mrs. Curran used to make this mustard and jar it up for gifts. I loved a smear on homefries. A few tablespoons of this mustard may be whisked into homemade mayonnaise and served with anything poached. It also is a tasty addition to a vinaigrette dressing.
