Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Yellow mustard seeds
- 3 tablespoons Brown mustard seeds
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground allspice
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the yellow mustard seeds, brown mustard seeds, apple cider vinegar, and water. Stir to combine and let the mixture sit at room temperature for at least 6 hours or overnight. This allows the seeds to soften and absorb the liquid.
After soaking, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor.
Add the honey, ground allspice, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground turmeric, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the blender.
Blend the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For a coarser mustard, pulse the blender and leave some of the seeds intact. For a smoother texture, blend longer.
Taste the mustard and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding a bit more salt or honey if desired.
Transfer the mustard to a sterilized jar or airtight container. It can be used immediately, but the flavors will develop further if left to sit in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Stir before each use and enjoy with your favorite dishes!
