Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 2 cups

Ingredients

3/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1 4-ounce tin Colman's mustard powder
1 cup good-quality apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup honey
3 large eggs, beaten to blend

Special Equipment

Four clean 4-ounce jars

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk brown sugar and mustard powder in a large bowl to combine. Add vinegar and honey; whisk well. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large metal bowl. Add eggs and whisk until blended.

    Step 2

    Set bowl with mustard mixture over a large saucepan of gently simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water; eggs may scramble). Cook, whisking and scraping bottom of bowl frequently, until mustard is thick and an instantread thermometer registers 160°F, about 5 minutes.

    Step 3

    Divide mustard among jars. Screw on lids and chill. DO AHEAD: Mustard can be made 2 weeks ahead. Keep refrigerated for up to 2 months.
