Seriously Whole Grain Mustard: An easy all-purpose condiment that is sure to impress!

The links in these recipes are for products that I use and recommend.  

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe
Seriously Whole Grain Mustard is the perfect condiment for charcuterie.

This whole seed mustard was one of the first products I created when I started Smokey Ridge Charcuterie. It continued to be one of our most popular condiments at The Farm Table for years. This mustard is all about texture and visual appeal. The mustard seeds have the popping texture of caviar and the multicolored little seeds add so much to the presentation of any dish. This mustard is not spicy or pungent. I use it on its own and as a building block to many other sauces, and salad dressings.

I purchase my mustard seeds from SFHerbs.com. Their prices are great (about $2.50/pound of mustard seeds), as is their quality, and they have a great assortment of spices, teas, and salts that you may want to add to your shopping cart. I’m sure you could find them on Amazon and Nuts.com as well.

This recipe is scaled for 1 lb of mustard seed which seemed like the most usable quantity for the home. It still makes 8 cups which is a pretty big batch and will last you a while or be enough to share with friends.

    Mine is still very watery after sitting in the fridge for days. When I bring it to a boil should it stay boiling for any amount of time? I did let it sit for over 24 hours before boiling.
