Homemade Yellow Mustard
Description
This mustard recipe uses dry mustard powder as a base, which is mixed with apple cider vinegar and water, lending acidity and moisture. Turmeric provides color and earthiness, while garlic and paprika add subtle depth. Brown sugar cuts the bitterness and rounds out flavor with gentle sweetness. A cornstarch slurry helps thicken the mustard during the gentle simmer, which also melds and develops the flavors.
The cooking time of about 20-25 minutes reduces the mixture to a desirable thickness, suitable for spreading or dipping. The mustard can be stored refrigerated for up to three months, allowing the flavors to mature over time. It yields about 5.25 ounces, roughly equivalent to 21 small packets.
Substitutions include using white vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar and optional omission or substitution of sugar type, which affects the bitterness and immediate usability of the mustard.
