Selby'S Hot Sweet Mustard
A tangy, sweet mustard spread with a creamy kick—perfect for sandwiches, dips, or a quick condiment that balances sharpness, sweetness, and a hint of mayo.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix dry mustard and vinegar together and let stand overnight.
- Beat in eggs, sugar and salt, then cook in a double boiler until thick.
- Let the mixture cool.
- Beat in mayonnaise and refrigerate until chilled.
Tips & Substitutions
For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the mix. If you prefer a milder mustard, reduce the amount of dry mustard or use Dijon mustard instead. Ensure that the mixture cooks slowly in the double boiler to prevent scrambling the eggs. Using light mayonnaise is a great way to reduce calories without sacrificing flavor.
Serving Suggestions
This hot sweet mustard pairs beautifully with Ham Roll-Ups (Appetizer) and makes a fantastic dipping sauce for pretzels or sandwiches. It can also be drizzled over grilled meats or used as a zesty spread in wraps. For a fun twist, serve it alongside a cheese platter for a unique flavor combination.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The hot sweet mustard can last for up to two weeks when properly refrigerated. If the mixture thickens too much after refrigeration, simply stir in a bit of vinegar or water to reach your desired consistency before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this mustard ahead of time?
Yes, this hot sweet mustard develops a deeper flavor when made ahead of time. It can be prepared up to a week in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Just remember to give it a good stir before serving, as it may thicken slightly while chilling.
Is this recipe suitable for a vegetarian diet?

How can I adjust the sweetness of this recipe?

Just remember to start with a smaller amount and adjust gradually to avoid making the mustard too sweet.
