Of Mustards, again, there are a great variety, and
a pleasant change may be made by mixing the
mustard smoothly with any spiced or flavoured
vinegar to taste; or again, boil about half a tea
spoonful each of salt, freshly ground black pepper,
mace, cloves, and a dash of cayenne, with a small
clove of garlic, in half a pint of good vinegar till
this is strongly flavoured; mix 4oz. or 5oz. of
mustard to a stiff paste with some cold tarragon
vinegar, then strain into it gradually the boiling-hot
spiced vinegar, stirring it as you do so with a small
red-hot poker, or kitchen skewer. This mustard, if
stored in wide-mouthed bottles, and tightly corked,
will keep for years.
