Sweet, hot mustard a la doug

1 servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
½cupBrown sugar; packed
¼cupDry Mustard; Keens or similar
1tablespoonFlour
¼teaspoonTurmeric
1teaspoonCalvin's or whatever GOOD hot chile powder takes your fancy
1teaspoonOlive oil
2Eggs
cupWhite vinegar
cupWater
2tablespoonsDry sherry

Directions

Beat first seven ingredients in a medium saucepan, until smooth, then stir in the vinegar and water, then stir over medium heat, until thick. Do not let the eggs scramble, in other words, keep stirring, and keep the heat low, in necessary, or do this over boiling water, if not accustomed to making a good thick egg sauce. Before pouring into an 8 oz jar, add 2 tbls dry sherry and mix in, or do this when the mustard is fairly cool, before putting into a jar...you want to retain the alcohol in the sherry.

Once again, note that there is no salt, add your own if desired, but taste it first. This mustard is best about three weeks later, and will keep in the fridge almost indefinately....if it lasts! Posted to CHILE-HEADS DIGEST by Doug Irvine <dirvin@...> on Jul 25, 1999, converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
