We love canning in the Noland’s household. We have done lots of it over the years but not that many of the recipes have been condiments. I thought this would be such a great gift for the holidays, Homemade Sweet Hot Mustard! This works wonderfully tucked into a basket, or a small hostess gift, or for present for any gift exchange. It is easy to make and requires few ingredients plus it also is delicious with a holiday roast, turkey or ham.
Bringing it to any occasion allows you to just pop it onto the table and have everyone try some of your homemade creation!! This recipe is one that I found in Best of Bridge Home Preserving. I gave it our own little tweak with some added heat and some added sweetness from honey.
It turned out to be such a gorgeous colour and I love the whole mustard seeds in this recipe therefore adding in some delightful grains to otherwise smooth mustard. The recipe doesn’t make a crazy amount. Just 6 four ounce jars therefore just enough for gifts and some for yourself.

A Homemade Sweet Hot Mustard makes a great gift for the holidays or anytime!!
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry mustard
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- 1/2 cup mustard seeds
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1 tsp. cayenne
- 1 1/2 cups white wine

- 6 - 4 oz. steriized jars
- 6 Lids soaked in hot water for 5 min.

Instructions
- Stir together the dry mustard, sugar, mustard seeds, salt, pepper and cayenne in a medium saucepan. Slowly pour in the wine, vinegar and honey while whisking. Bring up to a boil and continue whisking, cook for 1 min. The mixture should start to thicken.
- Spoon the mustard into sterilized jars to within 1/2" of rim. Remove any air bubbles and wipe rims clean. Top with prepared lids and close with rims until just finger-tip tight. Process jars in a canner full of boiling water for 15 min. Adjust if greater than 1,000 feet for high altitude processing. Turn off the heat and let the jars stand in the hot water for 5 min. Transfer using a jar lifter to towel-lined counter. Let cool, store any jars that did not seal in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Allow the mustard to mellow for at least one week before serving.

This is absolutely perfect. I love throwing hot mustard in the water to recipes and it would be nice if I didn’t have to buy it all the time.

I’ve never had homemade hot mustard. But I do love mustard, so I’m going to try your creative and delish-looking recipe soon.

We actually have mustard seed this year too! My husband is such a spicy mustard fanatic and would love this.
Eric says
Yes. Get in my belly right now! I love mustard. I must have 6 different mustards on the door of the fridge right now. Every once in a while my wife will ask the question “why”. Each mustard serves a purpose. As I go into those reasons, her eyes glass over and she walks away. I can’t wait to give this recipe a go.
Tara Noland says
Haaaa, LOL! You enjoy!!
Tim Czyz says
Can I leave the seeds out? I don’t want to but for health reasons I must.
Tara Noland says
I haven’t tried it without them but it should be just fine!
Christina says
Have you ever tried making this with just honey instead of using the white sugar? Or what do you think about trying liquid stevia or powdered??
Tara Noland says
Hi Christina, I am sorry but I have not strayed from this recipe to know what the results would be like. With the sugar and as it is as a recipe it is very good.
Carol Degroot says
I made this tonight and just ladled it up. In fact it’s got another eight minutes to go in the water canner LOL it tastes absolutely amazing I think it would be better and 1/2 pint jars. It would be amazing as a dip for a chicken or whatnot
Tara Noland says
So glad you like it. We love it with so many things!! Great as a little gift too!!
Christina says
When you say to use white wine, are you referring to white wine vinegar?
Tara Noland says
No, you need a whie wine, dry white wine not too sweet.
