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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
5. Taste the mustard and adjust sugar, salt, or spices if desired. For a spicier mustard, increase the amount of cayenne pepper.
Step 6
6. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mustard cool completely to room temperature.
Step 7
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.
