Step 1
Combin the yellow and brown mustard seeds in a medium bowl. Pour in the champagne, add the fresh dill, and splash in the vinegar—just enough to cover everything. Pop the bowl into the fridge and let it sit for about 24 hours to soak up all those flavors.
Step 2
After it’s had time to marinate, transfer the mustard seed mixture to a food processor. Add the garlic, brown sugar, a pinch of salt, and some pepper. Blend everything together until you reach the texture you like, whether that’s smooth or a bit grainy.
Step 3
Once it’s ready, spoon the mustard into three clean, sterilized half-pint jars. Seal them up, and your homemade dill mustard is good to go!
How To Serve This Dish

Leftover Storage Guide
Store the mustard in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to two weeks. Stir before each use to maintain consistency and refresh the flavors.
