Great ready for your taste buds to go WOW!

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.

Sweet and Spicy Mustard

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 helps 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.

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

      Brilliant idea to make your own mustard! And what a great homemade food gift. We love mustard in our home, especially hubby, so this is a must try. Bet it will make any sandwich extra special 🙂

      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!
