    • 1 cup dark beer
    • 1 1/4 cups white-wine vinegar
    • 1 cup mustard powder, combined with 1 cup water (let sit 20 minutes)
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • 2 teaspoons salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground mace
    • 1/4 cup yellow mustard seeds
    • 1/2 cup brown mustard seeds
    • 1/2 cup dry red wine
    • 1 cup red-wine vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • 2 teaspoons salt
    • 1 tablespoon dried marjoram
    • 1/4 cup yellow mustard seeds
    • 1/4 cup black mustard seeds
    • 1/2 cup dry sherry
    • 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
    • 2 tablespoons green peppercorns
    • 1/3 cup olive oil
    • 2 teaspoons salt
    • 1/4 cup yellow mustard seeds
    • 1/4 cup black mustard seeds
    • 1/2 cup dry sherry
    • 1 1/4 cups white-wine vinegar
    • 2 tablespoons pink peppercorns
    • 1/3 cup olive oil
    • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
    • 2 teaspoons salt

Directions

  1. In a nonreactive container, combine mustard seeds with alcohol (beer, wine, or sherry; according to recipe) and vinegar. Let sit 48 hours. Check periodically to make sure seeds are covered by liquid; add more if necessary.
  2. Transfer seeds and liquid to a food processor. Add remaining ingredients. Process until seeds become creamy, 4 to 6 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least 1 week before using to let the flavors develop. The mustard will keep for up to 1 month.

    After more tasting, the pink peppercorn mustard really is good. I poured out some of the liquid that settles at the bottom, and didn't shake the mustard before serving reduce the strong hint of the Sherry. Must try the others now!

    The pink peppercorn mustard is way too thin. Too much liqiud and has too strong an alcohol taste. I followed the directions exactly, but this does not work out to become a creamy/thick/spreadable kind of mustard. Does anyone have any suggestions for improvement? I need a little help here Martha!
