How To Make sweet & spicy german mustard

  • 1
    In a large pot over medium heat, add all the ingredients except both mustard seeds. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
  • 2
    Turn off the heat and let it steep for 1 hour.
  • 3
    Place a cheesecloth in a colander sitting over a bowl and strain the mixture into a bowl; discard the solids.
  • 4
    Add the mustard seeds and stir well. Cover and refrigerate for 3 days.
  • 5
    Add 2 ½ to 3 cups of the mixture to the bowl of a food processor; process for 1 minute.
  • 6
    Meanwhile, strain the rest of the mixture through a fine sieve sitting over a bowl.
  • 7
    Add half of the mustard seeds from the sieve, process for a minute or two, and then add the rest; process again for a couple minutes.
  • 8
    To this, add some of the reserved liquid – be careful not to add too much liquid otherwise it will turn into a soup – and keep adding until desired consistency; discard the remaining liquid.
  • 9
    Spoon mustard into airtight containers and transfer to the fridge until needed. Makes 4 cups.
