Spicy Mustard

Do you know how easy it is to make mustard?  I'm almost embarrassed to post a recipe because it is so simple.  But because I don't think it's common knowledge I'm going to share this easy, yummy, spicy mustard recipe with you.

The hardest part of making mustard is getting the mustard seeds.  I ordered mine from Amazon because I don't know how easy it is to find brown and yellow mustard seeds in Abuja.  And I don't feel like taking the time to find out.  So, Amazon to the rescue.

1/4 cup brown mustard seeds
1/4 cup yellow mustard seeds
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon turmeric

Mustard seeds soaking in vinegar and water

Place mustard seeds, vinegar, and water in a glass jar.  Cover and let it soak for about 2 days. Pour into a blender or food processor and add the salt, honey, and turmeric.  Blend until it forms a paste.  That's it.  Can you believe it?  It is so good too.  If you don't like spicy mustard, you can leave the brown seeds out and use 1/2 cup of yellow mustard seeds instead.










This mustard goes great with my homemade pretzels (which I'll try to post in the next few days).
