God has given each of us a conscience, a moral compass within our hearts, bearing witness to His Law. In sinful or self-righteous people (that is, people whose dominant characteristics are either obvious sin or obvious self-righteousness) the conscience is to some degree “hardened.” That is, it is relatively insensitive to sin or its own self-righteousness. But in a growing Christian the conscience becomes more and more sensitive to violations of God’s Law. As a result, our consciences continually indict us, accusing us of not only particular sins, but, more important, of our overall sinfulness. We recognize more and more that specific acts of sin are simply the expressions of our still-wicked hearts.

INGREDIENTS

3	tb	Mustard seeds
1/3	c	Dry mustard, preferably imported
1/2	c	Hot tap water
1/2	c	White wine vinegar
1/2	c	Dry white wine or dry white vermouth
		Big pinch of cinnamon
1/2	ts	Dried tarragon, crumbled
1/2	ts	Dill seed
2	ts	Coarse (kosher) salt
		Big pinch of ground cloves
1	ts	Honey
1	tb	Green peppercorns (drained water-packed or freeze dried)

INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Combine the mustard seeds, dry mustard, water, and vinegar in a bowl
and let stand for at least 3 hours. 2. In a small saucepan, bring to a boil
the wine or vermouth, cinnamon, tarragon, dill seed, salt, and cloves.
Strain into the mustard mixture and stir. Add the honey and green
peppercorns. 3.  Scape into a food processor or blender and whirl to a
puree. 4. Transfer to the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Cook
for about 10 minutes, stirring often. (The mixture should be a bit softer
than finished mustard, as it will thicken as it cools). Crush a few more
peppercorns slightly and add, if you like texture and a little more bite.
5.  Scrape into a jar, cool, and refrigerate. Keeps indefinitely. Makes
