Süßer SenfBavarian sweet mustard

Coarsely cracked mustard seed, sugar, vinegar, salt. The grains stay visible and crack between the teeth, the colour runs brown.

It is the mustard for Weißwurst, and the fest serves Weißwurst. It also goes with Leberkäse and with pork knuckle.

There is no equivalent on the shelf. Sweet mustard is its own product, not a milder version of the medium-hot one.

Honey mustard is the wrong grab: smooth instead of grainy, far too mild, and it reads as honey rather than mustard seed.

Selbst machenmake it yourself

Crack the mustard seed coarsely, in a mortar or with two turns of the grinder. Do not take it to powder: the grain is the whole point.

Stir it with sugar or piloncillo, white wine vinegar, salt and a little apple sauce, then let it stand. It is ready in about 30 minutes.

It thickens as it sits. For a looser mustard, add water or vinegar a spoonful at a time.

Kaufenwhere to buy

Mustard seed is on sale in the mercado, usually cheaper than in the supermarket.

Ready-made Bavarian mustard such as Händlmaier comes through Mercado Libre and import shops.
