Sweet and Spicy Mustard

Homemade mustar

My mother-in-law has been making this spicy mustard during the holidays for quite some time. She serves it every time she serves a baked ham, but this spicy mustard can be used with so much more. I always make it when I serve pigs in a blanket!

This mustard also makes a perfect hostess gift and a delicious gift for friends and families.

Key Ingredients

  • Dried Mustard - My mother-in-law insists that Colman's Mustard is the best to use. It's what I've used, but feel free to use whatever dry mustard you have on hand.
  • Eggs - Three whole eggs are needed. These act as a binder and help thicken the mustard
  • Sugar - I use granulated sugar
  • White Vinegar - Gives mustard the tang or the sour that makes this taste so great. Use plain white distilled vinegar.

Uses for mustard

The uses for this sweet and spicy mustard are endless. Some ways I use it include

  • Serving alongside a baked ham
  • Use as a dipping sauce for chicken nuggets
  • Spread on a ham or turkey sandwich
  • Serve with pigs in a blanket
  • Serve with freshly baked pretzels
  • Add to a lunch or brunch buffet and let people choose how to use

Tips for making

  • Combine everything in a pot and heat over medium heat for about 10 minutes
  • Use a thermometer and bring mixture to 150-155 degrees
  • Strain mustard in a fine strainer while still hot to make certain the mustard is very smooth
  • Allow mustard to cool before serving
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to one month

      Isn’t 4 ounces of Colman’s just 1/2 cup?

        Hi Steve,
        Each small container is just about 2 ounces and has about 1/2 cup in each container. For this recipe, you'll need two small containers. I've adjusted the recipe to reflect this. Thank you!
        Thank you!!!
        Kathy 🙂

      I made this and it taste delicious, but the next day it was all gummy, not just thick, but gummy. Any suggestions to make it thinner,smoother?

        Hi Kerrie,
        I have only made this with Coleman's dry mustard. Another brand may not have the same results. To get smooth, make certain you strain as soon as it's removed from the heat.

      What a fun idea for a holiday hostess gift! I mean I do love cookies and all, but there is something unique about a homemade mustard sauce like this. I bet this is fantastic for leftover ham sandwiches, too!
