Ingredients

½ cup 90 g yellow mustard seed
¼ cup 40 g brown mustard seeds
1 cup 240 ml apple cider vinegar
½ cup 120 ml pale or dark ale beer
½ cup 60 ml honey
1 cup 175 g dried apricots
kosher salt, optional, to taste
1 cup 240 ml water

1. Place the yellow and brown mustard seeds, apple cider vinegar, beer, honey and dried apricots into a medium sauce pan over medium-low heat. Cook for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the vinegar has reduced by about ⅔. Add the water and bring back to a simmer. Once the mixture is at a simmer, remove from the heat and cool completely.
2. Place the reduced mixture into the Immersion Chopper (or alternatively into a blending container) and attach the Immersion Blender handle. If using the chopper, chop on highest speed for 30-45 seconds. If using the regular Immersion Blender attachment, blend for 25-30 seconds on its highest speed, or until desired consistency is achieved.
3. Add salt if desired and adjust consistency with additional water if needed. Refrigerate overnight.
