One minute mustard sauce

There is nothing better with gammon, than home-made mustard sauce.  This is one of those recipes that you should actually know by heart.  It is so quick to make and really delicious.    It will keep for a few days in the fridge, so you can make the full quantity and serve it with any cold meats, or use it on sandwiches.  I also love green beans or tender stem broccoli,cooked  dente, drizzled with a bit of this sauce.

This is one of those recipes that I always make using the microwave and it literally takes only 1 minute. 

3 eggs
100ml vinegar
1 cup sugar
25ml mustard powder
a pinch of salt

Whisk all the ingredients together in a glass bowl.  Cook in the microwave oven for 1 minute, stirring every 10 seconds.  The mixture will thicken from the sides.  Make sure to stir often, or you will end up with scrambled eggs.  Cool.

To make it on the stove top, cook the egg mixture in a double boiler, stirring until the mixture thickens.

This sounds really nice, can you use mustard in a jar ? would that work the same as the powder?
Sorry to be a pest but any particular vinegar that should be used.

Thanks

I either grape vinegar or malted vinegar. Don't know about the prepared mustard, why don't you give it a go and let me know. I will try it next time I make it.
