Ingredients
- ¼ cup yellow mustard seeds
- ½ cup white wine vinegar
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place the mustard seeds in a fine mesh strainer and rinse thoroughly. Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mustard seeds are gelatinous and have plumped slightly, about 30-40 minutes. Add more water (just one or two tablespoons at a time) if the seeds should begin to dry out during the cooking process. Transfer to a clean container to cool completely. Cover and refrigerate for up to a month.
Notes
- Be sure to keep an eye on the seeds as they cook and stir them occasionally.
- If the seeds begin to dry out before the desired texture is achieved, simply add another tablespoon or two of water and continue cooking as directed.
