German Style Mustard - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/4 cup yellow mustard seeds
    2 tablespoons brown mustard seeds
    1/4 cup mustard powder
    1/2 cup water
    1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
    1 small white onion, finely minced
    2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
    1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
    1/4 teaspoon turmeric
Preparation
    In a small bowl, combine mustard seed and dry mustard; set aside.
    In a 1- to 2-quart non-aluminum pan, combine remaining ingredients. Simmer uncovered, on medium heat until reduced by half, 10-15 minutes. Pour the mixture into the mustard mixture. Let mixture soak at room temperature 24 to 48 hours; adding additional vinegar if necessary in order to maintain enough liquid to cover seeds.
    Process the seeds and mixture in a blender or food processor until pureed to the texture you like (this can take at least 3 or 4 minutes).
    The mixture will thicken upon standing.
    If it gets too thick after a few days, stir in additional vinegar. Scrape mustard into clean, dry jars; cover tightly and age at least 3 days.
