There are somethings in life that are worth making by hand. Sometimes, I’m just tired of name brands, labels and the mass production of everything. Some things deserve to shine in the homemade spotlight on occasion and this time it’s simply mustard. 
But this isn’t your run-of-the-mill, baseball stand, bland, yellow goo. This mustard is tangy, a bit spicy and is full of complexity from the addition of fresh chopped herbs. Perfect for a hot dog, but sophisticated enough to have with gravlax.
To make homemade mustard, you don’t need any special canning equipment, and the best part is that it “makes itself”. All you have to do is combine the mustard powder, seeds , wine, vinegar, and fresh herbs… add a little salt and let it hang out for a few days… stir once in a while.
(Mustard has antimicrobial properties, so it rarely “spoils”.)
Once the mustard has thickened/thinned to your liking, spoon it into sterilized jars and store them in the fridge. Or, better yet… bring it to your next BBQ. Suddenly, those weenies on the grill with become gourmet with a slather of homemade mustard with white wine and dill… tie the jars with a little ribbon and viola – instant hostess gift.
