The Perfect Pairing

Key Ingredients

To create this mouthwatering condiment, you’ll need a few essential ingredients. First, grab a bottle of 100% cherry juice with no added sugar from your local supermarket. We recommend Just Tart Cherry from R. W. Knudsen. You’ll also need ground mustard, white wine vinegar, brown sugar, kosher salt, Worcestershire sauce, eggs, and dried cherries.

The Science Behind the Flavor

Did you know that the pungency and heat of mustard seeds can dissipate over time? This means that the longer your mustard sits in the refrigerator, the less spicy it will become. To preserve the flavor, be sure to store it in an airtight container and use it within two weeks.

Let’s Get Started!

With just 20 minutes of prep time and 2 hours of marinating, you can create this delectable cherry mustard. Here’s a breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Combine Ingredients

In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk together cherry juice, ground mustard, vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Add the eggs and egg yolk, whisking until evenly combined.

Step 2: Marinate and Cook

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours. Then, fill a medium saucepan with 1 inch of water and bring to a bare simmer over low heat. Remove the plastic wrap and place the bowl over the simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mustard thickens to the consistency of olive oil, about 10 minutes.

Step 3: Add Dried Cherries and Store

Remove the bowl from the saucepan, add the dried cherries, and stir to combine. Transfer the mustard to a nonreactive container with a tightfitting lid and cool completely. Seal the container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
