Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Yellow mustard seeds
- 4 tablespoons Brown mustard seeds
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized glass bowl, combine the yellow mustard seeds and brown mustard seeds.
Pour the apple cider vinegar and water over the mustard seeds. Stir to ensure the seeds are submerged.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the mixture sit at room temperature for 12-24 hours. The seeds will absorb the liquid and soften.
Once the seeds have soaked, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor.
Add the honey, ground turmeric, ground paprika, salt, and cayenne pepper to the blender.
Blend the mixture to your desired consistency. For a smoother mustard, blend longer; for a coarse, grainy mustard, pulse a few times until roughly combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more honey for sweetness or cayenne for heat as preferred.
Transfer the mustard to a clean, airtight jar and store in the refrigerator. Allow it to sit for at least 24 hours before using to let the flavors develop fully.
