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

      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.

      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!
