Since Easter is just next week and that usually means there’s ham on the menu, I’m sharing my favorite homemade mustard recipe again. If you’ve been following us for any length of time you’ve seen it for sure; I make a batch several times a year and usually give small jars as gifts at Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. It’s perfect with ham and on sandwiches, and if you like your mustard with a bit of a kick, then this recipe is for you!

Today I’m sharing free printable tags along with the recipe, so you can give a small jar to your friends, family, and even your hostess for Easter dinner, if you’re going to be a guest.

Sharp Mustard

This is my aunt's easy and delicious mustard recipe. It tastes great with ham or on sandwiches, and makes enough to share.

Course Side Dish
Prep Time 8 hours
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings 8
Author 11 Magnolia Lane

Ingredients

  • 3.5 ounces dry mustard (I like Colman's)
  • 1 c apple cider vinegar
  • 1 c sugar
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 1-1/2 c mayonnaise
  • 1 Egg

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry mustard and vinegar in a bowl and let sit for 8-12 hours (I'll usually do this before bed and then make the mustard the next morning).

  2. Beat the egg off heat in a medium saucepan and then add the sugar, salt, and mustard/vinegar mixture.

  3. Cook over medium heat until thickened, remove from heat and let sit until cool.

  4. Stir in the mayonnaise and mix until smooth (I prefer a wire whisk to remove lumps).

  5. Pour into jars and refrigerate.

And here are the tags; you can print them on white card stock and cut them out yourself, or use the tags I’ve linked to below. The file is perfectly sized for them.

And if you’d rather have the Easter tags without “Sharp Mustard” on them (thanks to one of our favorite readers, Julie, for the suggestion), {Download a PDF of them HERE}.

Or, to give this is a treat for another holiday, see our other tags:

Here are all the supplies I use for this recipe; I also linked to both sizes of jars because you can give twice as many gifts if you use the smaller size:

When I’m at thrift and antique stores, I keep an eye out for small vintage silver spoons and spreaders. It’s a nice extra touch to tie one on a jar that you’re giving as a gift.

A little baker’s twine or ribbon finishes things off perfectly.

Amy and I are both traveling next week for spring break. We’ll be posting but not quite as frequently as we usually do, although I’m sure we’ll both have plenty to share about our trips after the fact.

Thanks for stopping by~

      Julie–
      First of all, we appreciate your long-term readership and friendship! Second, I’m so glad that I’m not the only one who makes this recipe on repeat! You should definitely try the smaller jars if you give a lot of it. I know the recipe makes a bunch but this way you can really share with a lot of friends.
      Happy Easter to you and yours, as well!
      XO,
      Christy
