Table Mustard

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Mix together the dry mustard, sugar, and salt. Wet smooth with boiling water to form a very stiff paste. Stir in either onion juice or mashed garlic, blending well. Add the olive oil little by little, stirring constantly. Thin gradually with sharp vinegar, adding it slowly to avoid lumping or curdling, until the mustard reaches the consistency of thin cream. Transfer to a glass jar, seal tightly, and let stand a week. A month is better—the mustard improves with age if kept sealed and not permitted to dry up.
