Homemade Spicy Mustard

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup yellow mustard seeds
• 1/2 cup brown mustard seeds
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to desired spiciness)

Directions

1. In a medium-sized, non-reactive bowl, combine the yellow and brown mustard seeds with the apple cider vinegar and water. Make sure the seeds are fully submerged in the liquid. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let it sit at room temperature for 24-48 hours. The mustard seeds will absorb the liquid and become plump.
2. After the seeds have soaked, pour the mixture into a blender or food processor. Add the honey, salt, ground turmeric, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
3. Blend or process the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For a smoother mustard, blend for longer, and for a grainier mustard, blend for a shorter time.
4. Taste the mustard and adjust the seasonings to your preference, adding more honey for sweetness or more cayenne pepper for spiciness.
5. Transfer the spicy mustard to a clean glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store the mustard in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before using to allow the flavors to meld.
6. The homemade spicy mustard can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
