I love giving and receiving homemade gifts! There are many ideas you can use to give food gifts. One gift idea is homemade mustard. It is so easy and you can make up a basket with a loaf of fresh rye bread, some cheese, a few bottles of beer and your own mustard. Makes a wonderful gift.
Several years ago a friend of mine gave me a gift of her homemade mustard. In the package was a jar of mustard, a tiny whisk and the recipe! I thought it was such a wonderful gift. Today I share the recipe with you.
Homemade Sweet Hot Mustard
Ingredients:
½ cup white vinegar
1 beef bouillon cube
2 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
¼ cup dry mustard
1 Tbsp flour
¼ tsp salt
Directions:
Dissolve ½ cup water and ½ cup vinegar and bouillon in a pan over medium heat. In a small bowl beat 2 eggs and add them to the warm vinegar mixture. Combine the brown sugar, the dry mustard, flour and salt and whisk into the vinegar mixture. Keep whisking until thick.
Pour the mixture into small jars. Put lids on the jars and refrigerate when cool. Lasts two months in the refrigerator.
