Pickled Mustard Seeds #2

Ingredients

For the Brine:

  • 90ml white wine vinegar
  • 65ml cider vinegar
  • 75ml water
  • 25ml rye whiskey
  • 1 bay leaves
  • 75g brown sugar
  • 5g kosher salt

For the Seeds:

  • 100g yellow mustard seeds

Directions

For the Brine:

  1. Combine white wine vinegar, cider vinegar, water, whiskey, bay leaves, brown sugar, and salt in a small saucepan.
  2. Set aside, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved.

For the Seeds:

  1. Place seeds in a clean saucepan and cover with cold water.
  2. Bring to a boil, then drain through a fine-mesh strainer and discard the water.
  3. Repeat until the discarded water does not taste bitter.
  4. This can take between 1 and 8 repetitions.

Combine and Complete

  1. Transfer blanched and drained mustard seeds to the pot with the brine.
  2. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a bare simmer and cook until the seeds have plumped up and the liquid has reduced by about one-third, 15 to 20 minutes.
  3. Without draining brine, transfer seeds to a sealable container, let cool at room temperature.
  4. Then seal and refrigerate until ready to use.
  5. The seeds will mature in flavor over the course of a few days.
