Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Yellow mustard seeds
- 3 tablespoons Brown mustard seeds
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground white pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
Instructions
1. In a medium-sized non-reactive bowl, combine the yellow mustard seeds and brown mustard seeds with the apple cider vinegar and water. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 12-24 hours. This step allows the seeds to soften and absorb the liquid.
2. After soaking, transfer the mustard seed mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the seeds are broken down but still slightly grainy, depending on your preferred texture.
3. Pour the blended mixture into a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the granulated sugar, honey, ground turmeric, ground white pepper, kosher salt, and cayenne pepper.
4. Stir the mixture constantly as it heats to prevent sticking. Bring it to a gentle simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the mustard thickens slightly. Keep in mind it will continue to thicken as it cools.
5. Taste the mustard and adjust sugar, salt, or spices if desired. For a spicier mustard, increase the amount of cayenne pepper.
6. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mustard cool completely to room temperature.
7. Transfer the cooled mustard to sterilized glass jars with lids. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Allow the flavors to meld for at least 24 hours before serving for the best taste.
