Homemade Spicy Mustard Recipe
The Homemade Spicy Mustard Recipe uses a blend of yellow, brown, and black mustard seeds soaked overnight in a mix of apple cider vinegar and beer to develop flavor and soften the seeds. Fresh habanero peppers add heat, and blending the mixture allows you to control the texture from coarse to smooth. The result is a bold, spicy mustard with depth, perfect for adding a robust kick to sandwiches, sauces, and dressings.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup yellow mustard seeds
- 1/4 cup mustard seeds brown variety
- 1/4 cup black mustard seeds
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup beer I used a Mexican lager
- 4 habanero pepper chopped (innards removed for a bit less heat
- salt I use .5 teaspoon, to taste
Instructions
- To a large mixing bowl, add mustard seeds with vinegar and beer. Mix well. Pour into a large jar and seal.
- Set the jar in a dry place overnight to let the seeds absorb the liquid, at least 12 hours. You will notice the seeds grow larger, but the mixture still looks like mustard seeds floating in liquid.
- Stir in the habanero peppers and salt. Mix well.
- Add to a food processor and process to your personal tastes. You can process only a little to keep most of the seeds, or go to town and really mix it together. I processed mine to about 80 percent, keeping a few seeds in there.
- Set the mustard into a sterilized jar and serve! The flavors will keep developing as time goes by.
