Method (preview)

1. 1

   If using a spice mill, grind the mustard seed in it to the texture of coarse meal.

2. 2

   Stir the ground seed with the mustard powder and water and set it aside, uncovered, for at least 2 hours or as long as overnight, giving it a stir when you think of it.

3. 3

   If using a blender or food processor to do the grinding, combine the seed, mustard powder and water in the container; process everything to a coarse puree.

4. 4

   Set the mixture aside as described.

5. 5

   Combine the mustard mixture with the vinegar, honey, salt and tarragon.

6. 6

   Store in a clean, dry jar, tightly capped, at room temperature if you would like it to mellow gradually, or refrigerate it at once to retain maximum hotness.

7. 7

   After the mustard has rested for a day or two, taste it and decide whether to add more tarragon, honey or vinegar.

8. 8

   Good with summer picnic foods.
