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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

After soaking, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor.

Step 3

Add the honey, ground allspice, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground turmeric, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the blender.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Taste the mustard and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding a bit more salt or honey if desired.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Stir before each use and enjoy with your favorite dishes!
