Make your own dijon mustard.

Homemade Dijon Mustard

Occasionally the suggested youtube videos come out with something worthwhile. In this one Brad from Bon Appetit makes mustard, Its alive! Brad makes mustard. It was so simple how could I not try it. 

Ingredients 

• 6 tbsp brown mustard seeds (grind)
• 5 tbsp yellow mustard seeds (grind)
• 1 tbsp yellow mustard powder
• 2 tbsp kosher salt
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup white verjus

Let me guess, you were fine until you got to verjus. The word verjus derives from the French term vert jus, literally "green juice," which refers to its source—the high-acid, low-sugar grapes that winemakers thin from the vines just when the crop is beginning to ripen. This early crop of unripe grapes is pressed, resulting in verjus.

Not having verjus I subbed that for $4 chardonnay I keep in the fridge for cooking and added a tsp of sugar.  In fact, I didnt have apple cider vinegar either so, I used distilled vinegar. Mix together and let it sit for overnight. Adjust for thickness as you desire. Too thin? Add mustard powder. Too thick add more wine/verjus. That's it.. literally just stir together and wait 3 days. Its gets better at 7 and practically never goes bad if it's in the fridge. 

The only thing you'll be asking is why weren't you making your own mustard sooner.
