I decided to give my guests some holiday cash! In addition to helping you make some herbal and edible gifts this Christmas, we are kicking off the holiday posts with a gift card giveaway. Scroll past the recipe to find all the details. And stop back for more recipes and entry reminders in the coming days.
Make a hand-made mustard and pair it with Herbal Honey for a perfect homemade gift. They this sophisticated mustard that is very simple to make.
1/4 cup black mustard
seeds
1/4 cup yellow mustard
seeds
1/4 cup dry powdered
mustard
3/4 cup cold water
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup white wine
vinegar
1 teaspoon dried
tarragon
1/8 teaspoon ground
allspice
Mix mustard seeds,
powdered mustard, and water in the upper pan of a lined, glass or stainless steel double boiler.
Let stand at least three hours. In another stainless steel or enamel saucepan, mix the
wine, vinegar, tarragon, and allspice and bring to a boil. Strain the liquid
into the mustard mixture and blend well. In the lower pan of the
double boiler, heat water to boiling, then reduce heat to a simmer. Place the
upper pan, containing the mustard mixture, on top. Cook, stirring, until the
mustard is as thick as you like. It will thicken a bit more as it
cools. Cover and refrigerate.
Mustard keeps for an extended time, so make ahead and give as a gift, just tell the recipient to keep it refrigerated and bring freshness into their winter cooking.
