Steps:
- Soak and refrigerate mustard seeds: In a small plastic container or glass bowl (do not use metal), soak the mustard seeds in 5 1/2 ounces of the distilled white vinegar. Cover and set in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours. Soaking allows the mustard seeds to soften and plump up, which will make them break down easier during the blending process.
- Strain the mustard seeds: Using a sieve, strain the mustard seeds, and discard any vinegar. The liquid will be too bitter to use.
- Blend the mustard seeds: Place the strained mustard seeds in a blender. Add the remaining 1 1/2 ounces of distilled white vinegar, white wine, sugar, and salt into the blender as well. Blend at a low setting for 20 seconds, then slowly increase to a high setting and blend for 15 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the blender. The consistency of the mustard will have thickened slightly. Blend at low setting for 15 seconds, slowly increasing to a high setting and blend for 20 to 30 seconds. The consistency will be similar to a thick cake batter. If you prefer a smoother texture, blend for another 20 to 30 seconds at a medium to high setting.
- Chilling and storing the mustard: Transfer the mustard to a glass jar or plastic container and cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. The mustard is quite bitter immediately after blending and needs time for the bitterness to diminish. It will keep for up to 6 months in the refrigerator.

CHEF JOHN'S DIJON MUSTARD
As with all condiments, you can and should adjust this to your taste. This style of Dijon doesn't contain any sweetener, but a little sugar or honey are common additions these days. You can also adjust the acidity, and I did add a little more than called for, since I tend to like things on the sharper side.

Steps:
- Combine white wine, water, vinegar, onion, and garlic in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer until flavors combine, about 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature and pour through a strainer into a large bowl; reserve liquid and discard onions and garlic.
- Stir mustard seeds, dry mustard, garlic powder, and salt into strained liquid; cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let sit at room temperature until mixture thickens, 24 to 48 hours.
- Puree mustard mixture to desired consistency using a stick blender. Transfer mustard mixture to a saucepan and add water as necessary to reach a smooth consistency. Bring mustard to a simmer, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring constantly, until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
- Pack mustard into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
- Refrigerate mustard until flavors blend, at least 1 week.

Steps:
- Prepare canner, jars & lids.
- Combine wine, vinegar, onion and garlic in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow aromatics to steep in the wine for 10 - 15 minutes.
- Strain vegetables from the infused wine, pressing on solids to release all the juice. Return wine to the saucepan and add salt, honey and Tabasco, if using. Over medium heat, whisk in the mustard powder; continue whisking and heating until the mustard comes to a boil. Stirring constantly, boil mustard until it reduces to your desired thickness, remembering that it will thicken further upon cooling (I cooked mine for about 10 minutes). Taste and adjust seasonings.
- Fill hot jars to a half-inch headspace, tamping down the mustard into the jar. Thoroughly remove bubbles by passing the clean handle of a wooden spoon along the edges and middle of the jar. Wipe rims, affix lids and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Allow to rest for 5 minutes in the hot water prior to removing from the canner.
- OPTIONS: If storing in the fridge, you may omit the vinegar and simply use 2 cups of wine. Dijon mustard is made with both red & white wines, so feel free to experiment with half red:half white wine, or maybe red wine vinegar with white wine.

Steps:
- In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of the grape juice, the wine, vinegar, salt, pepper and shallot. Place over medium heat and cook until reduced by half. In another saucepan, simmer the remaining 1/2cup grape juice over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Place the mustard powder in the container of a blender. With the motor running, and using a fine-mesh sieve, strain the wine-and-juice reduction through the lid opening of the blender. Add the oil and blend for a few more seconds.
- Scrape the mustard into a bowl and let stand 1 hour. Correct the texture and seasoning by adding 1 teaspoon at a time of the reserved grape juice and a little honey. Keeps refrigerated for 1 month.
Tips:
- Always use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
- Choose a good quality Dijon mustard with a strong flavor.
- If you don't have white wine, you can use apple cider vinegar or lemon juice instead.
- Be careful not to overcook the mustard, as this will make it bitter.
- Taste the mustard as you go and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
- Store the mustard in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Classic Dijon mustard is a versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is perfect for sandwiches, salads, and grilled meats. It can also be used as a marinade or a dipping sauce. With its sharp, tangy flavor, Dijon mustard is sure to add a kick to your next meal.
