    1/4   c             -- Water, cold tap
  2       tb           Sugar, dark brown
  2       sm           Garlic clove -- peeled
                       -& halved
  2       pn           Cloves -- ground
  5       tb           Dry mustard
  1       c            Cider vinegar
  2       sl           Onion, slice
  1 1/2   ts           Salt

    1/4   ts           Tarragon, dried -- crumbled
  3       tb           Corn syrup, light
    1/4   ts           Dill seeds

 Soak together the mustard seeds, dry mustard, hot
 water, & 1/2 cup of the vinegar for at least 3 hours.
 Combine in a saucepan the rest of the vinegar, cold
 water, onion, brown sugar, salt, garlic, cinnamon,
 allspice, dill seeds, tarragon & cloves.  Bring to a
 boil, boil for one minute & cover. Let stand one hour.

 Scrape soaked mustard mixture into a blender. Strain
 into it the spice infusion, pressing solids into a
 strainer to extract all flavor.  Process the mustard
 (covered) till like a coarse puree with a definite
 graininess. Pour mixture into the top of a double
 boiler set over simmering water & cook 10 minutes,
 stirring often till the mixture is noticeably thicker.
 Remove from heat, add the Karo and pour into a storage
 jar. Let it cool uncovered, then cap and store. Can be
 refrigerated or not. Makes about 1-1/2 cups.
