Jalapeño Mustard

Description

A red-hot, savory combination of real mustard, and jalapeños is made and mixed with eggs, vinegar, mustard seeds, and molasses and is great for dipping or drizzling on any meal. Hot sauce and red peppers often replace the pickling liquid and jalapeños, respectively, and work for this, too.

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup Colman's dry mustard
• ⅓ cup cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup beer or water
• 2 tablespoons minced pickled jalapeños
• 2 tablespoons jalapeño pickling liquid
• 1 ½ tablespoon molasses
• 1 tablespoon minced onion
• ½ teaspoon salt

Directions

1. In a small bowl, mix the dry mustard and vinegar until a smooth paste forms.
2. Stir in the mustard seeds.
3. Cover, then let the mixture sit at room temperature for several hours.
4. Transfer the mustard mixture to a small, heavy saucepan.
5. Add the remaining ingredients and warm over moderate-low heat.
6. Cook the mixture slowly, stirring frequently, until thick, about 30 minutes.
7. Cool to room temperature.
8. Transfer mustard to a small jar and refrigerate for later use.

Notes

1. The mustard keeps for up to 2 weeks. Just use it as you would with any other mustard.
