Bayerischer Süßer Senf
(Weißwurstsenf, Bavarian sweet mustard)
Bayerischer Süßer Senf is a Bavarian sweet mustard that is traditionally paired with Weißwurst sausages or Leberkäse. It was invented by Johann Conrad Develey in Munich in the 19th century. Develey recognized that a sweet version of mustard was missing on the market, so he added sugar, spices, and vinegar to brown and yellow mustard, then boiled the concoction.
Red-hot pokers were dipped into the mixture in order for the sugar to caramelize, resulting in an excellent flavor of the mustard. Later on, cloves, pimento, nutmeg, onions, salt, water, and brown icing sugar were added to the mustard grains, which were no longer boiled, but rough-ground, and a new Munich specialty has been created.
