Mustard - a spicy product, is used to give special taste sensations to dishes that are not so tasty without it. Buying ready-made mustard in the store, you are sometimes disappointed. Not that it is not bitter, on the contrary, there is more than enough bitterness in it, but there is no taste characteristic of a well-prepared product. What is fruit mustard and what is it eaten with?
So, to make fruit mustard, we need:
- A pound of apples and as many pears;
- A couple of lemons;
- A glass of wine, preferably white;
- Cinnamon - two sticks;
- Grapes of light varieties - 300 grams;
- Mustard is spicy and bright.
Fruits must be peeled and seeds selected. Then, peeled and sunflower seeds together with the core must be welded. To do this, put them in a container, add lemon, cinnamon and light wine. Cook for ten minutes. In the prepared lemon juice, immerse finely chopped fruit. To do this with grapes: cut each berry in half, take out the seeds and throw to apples and pears. From this, mustard must acquire aroma and unusual taste.
Pass the resulting broth through a sieve, then put fruit in it and cook for ten minutes. Boil with mustard and arrange in banks. Close the cans and put in a cool place to cool. Now meat, ham and game will acquire a completely new, spicy taste, thanks to fruit mustard.
We think that all housewives know how to make mustard. At least once they did it. After all, mustard brewed at home is much better than bought in a store. You will need mustard powder , honey, ginger, cloves. In addition, vegetable oil, vinegar, salt and sugar. The proportions will depend on how much mustard you want to make.
Take half a glass of boiling water and pour mustard powder. Moreover, we do it slowly, stirring all the time. We achieve that the state of the mixture acquires the consistency of mashed potatoes. After the mass has become homogeneous, add boiling water - two glasses - and set it to sediment for 24 hours. In parallel with this, you need to prepare an infusion of spices and pour boiling water over it. After a day has passed, it is necessary to pour water from a container with mustard. Add honey, sugar and salt. Then mix and in several passes, gradually put spices and oil in mustard, while not forgetting to stir. We clean in the refrigerator. After a couple of days, mustard can be eaten. Now we know how to make mustard, how to store it and what dishes to serve.
Mustard has a lot of cooking methods. Compared to Bavarian, English, Russian mustard recipes, fruit mustard has some advantages: it can be used as a seasoning, as a sauce, and used with sandwiches. In Italy, it is prepared in this way: white wine, which is a kind of sauce , is taken as the basis. It includes various fruits - pears, apples, then honey and spices are added. Mustard powder is poured into this sauce . And although mustard is not quite what we used to feel, it is a good seasoning for meat dishes.
There is also a berry based recipe. Two types of wines are needed for its preparation: half a glass port and any red wine - a quarter glass. Berries can be used from 80 to 100 grams. Dijon mustard, dry mustard, pepper and salt to taste.
In the dishes we mix both sorts of wines and begin to boil. After the contents have boiled, we make the fire to a minimum and give the wine a little more to stand on the fire. When the contents, let's say, have boiled, add the berries, and let it boil to the extent that the mass does not decrease in volume. Then filter through gauze or a fine sieve. Mix everything with mustard, salt to taste and close in a sealed jar. We clean in the refrigerator. In two to three days, the fruit mustard will be ready to eat.
