Sweet and Hot Mustard

Engrossed's Note:

This is from "The Frugal Gourmet Celebrates Christmas". I made the entire "Swedish Winter Feast" for a past Christmas and it was wonderful! I'll post the other recipes next. The whole meal is: Swedish Corned Pork Roast, Swedish Sauerkraut, Swedish Green Split Peas with Bacon, Mashed Rutabaga, Turnip, and Potato & Sweet and Hot Mustard, served with Rye Bread. I expected not to like anything and ended up LOVING everything! This is an excellent mustard. It will keep for a week refrigerated.

I had never used a double boiler, so I looked it up. I took a stainless steel bowl and fitted over a bowl of simmering water. I kept a close eye on it so the eggs wouldn't scramble, and stirred until it was the right consistency. Hope that helps any newbies like me! Also, this is the most delicious mustard I have ever tasted! I have only tried this on cheese sandwiches, but it would make a great sauce for chicken nuggets.

I really enjoyed this mustard. It was not what I expected but so much better! My husband loves mustard and this was a nice surprise for him! Thanks for the interesting recipe! We will make this again! MADE FOR ZWT4

This is outstanding! Punchy taste that SO enhances the flavor of the meat (we had ham). So glad I came across this recipe, as I am usually SO disappointed in the way my hams turn out, but this came galloping in and RESCUED me from ham-oblivion! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
