Table Mustard

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• boiling water
• 1 teaspoon onion juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• sharp vinegar

Instructions

1. Mix well together two tablespoonfuls dry mustard, scant teaspoon sugar, half a teaspoon salt.
2. Wet smooth, to a very stiff paste, with boiling water.
3. Then add either a teaspoon of onion juice, or a clove of garlic mashed, and stir well through.
4. Add little by little a tablespoonful olive oil.
5. Then thin with very sharp vinegar, added gradually so as not to lump nor curdle, to the consistency of thin cream.
6. Put in a glass jar, seal tight and let stand a week. A month is better — indeed, the mustard improves with age if not permitted to dry up.
