Time 1h15m

Yield About 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups fresh white grape juice
1 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 large shallot, very finely chopped
2/3 cup mustard powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
Honey to taste

Steps:

In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of the grape juice, the wine, vinegar, salt, pepper and shallot. Place over medium heat and cook until reduced by half. In another saucepan, simmer the remaining 1/2cup grape juice over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Set aside.
Place the mustard powder in the container of a blender. With the motor running, and using a fine-mesh sieve, strain the wine-and-juice reduction through the lid opening of the blender. Add the oil and blend for a few more seconds.
Scrape the mustard into a bowl and let stand 1 hour. Correct the texture and seasoning by adding 1 teaspoon at a time of the reserved grape juice and a little honey. Keeps refrigerated for 1 month.
