This Dijon mustard recipe with vinegar can be adjusted for acidity. I add a little more vinegar than called for since I tend to like things on the sharper side. As with all condiments, you can and should adjust this to your taste. This style of Dijon doesn't contain any sweetener, but a little sugar or honey are common additions these days.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups white wine
1 cup water, or more as needed
⅔ cup white wine vinegar
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup whole yellow mustard seeds
¼ cup dry mustard
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 1-pint canning jars with lids and rings

Directions

Combine white wine, water, vinegar, onion, and garlic in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer until flavors combine, about 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature and pour through a strainer into a large bowl; reserve liquid and discard onion and garlic.
Stir mustard seeds, dry mustard, garlic powder, and salt into strained liquid; cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature until mixture thickens, 24 to 48 hours.
Purée mustard mixture to desired consistency using a stick blender. Transfer mustard mixture to a saucepan and add enough water to reach a smooth consistency. Bring mustard to a simmer, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring constantly, until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
Pack mustard into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with the lids and screw on the rings.
Refrigerate mustard until flavors blend, at least 1 week.
