The best homemade mustard recipe ever. Compliments of my mother. Warning! This mustard is spicy hot!

You take 4 oz of dry mustard.

Add in one cup white vinegar. Mix with a beater in a saucepan. Let sit overnight.

THE NEXT DAY:

Take 3 eggs and beat them well. Add to the mustard mixture.

Add in one cup of sugar. (no low calorie recipe here!)

Cook over low heat. Really low. Stir it often. Cook until it starts to thicken.

With any luck you’ll find a sucker willing participant to do some stirring while you partake of your favorite beverage. (I like that word, partake!)

Anyway, cook until it thickens. If you cook it too quickly, the eggs might cook a bit (they’ll look like tiny pieces of scrambled eggs. Not to worry! Just pour the mustard through a strainer.) Once the mustard has thickened, pour into canning jars. I use small half pint mason jars.

This mustard is a great hostess gift. Add a label and ribbon and you’re set to go. We really like this mustard with a slice of brie on a stone ground cracker. Yum.
