                        -& 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           Cinnamon, ground
     1/4   ts           Allspice, ground
     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.
