Spicy Brown Mustard
Mustard is one of those things that typically has added salt but doesn’t seem to suffer from the lack of it. This particular mustard is similar to the coarse-ground French mustard like Grey Poupon Country French.
⅓ cup (59 g) mustard seeds
⅓ cup (48 g) dry mustard
⅔ cup (157 ml) water, boiling
1 cup (235 ml) cider vinegar
3 teaspoons (15 ml) light corn syrup
2 teaspoons (10 g) brown sugar
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
In a small bowl, combine the mustard seeds, dry mustard, and boiling water. Stir to mix and set aside for 10 minutes. In a saucepan, combine the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Place mustard and vinegar mixtures in a blender and process at high speed until seeds are crushed. Place in a pint jar and store in the refrigerator. Can be used immediately.
