ENGLISH MUSTARD
This is a modification of English Mustard #70193. When I had originally tried that, it was still quite watery, so I changed the amounts of mustard seeds and powder. I also added some other spices and such, to give it a bit more flavor. Use any color (brown, yellow, black) mustard seeds you wish. I end up making a batch about every three weeks or so because it doesn't last long in my house! Be warned that this is VERY HOT AND SPICY. Tastes great on ham or pork.

Steps:
- Toast the mustard seeds in a small dry pan (I use a cast iron pan) over medium heat, shaking occasionally, until the seeds start to pop. Remove from heat and tip the seeds into a mortar and pestle and crush them a few times. (If you don't have a mortar and pestle, tip them into a bowl and use the back of a spoon to crush them).
- In a glass or pottery bowl, blend the crushed mustard seeds, mustard powder and water thoroughly and let stand for 20 minutes. (You can drink the remaining beer while you're waiting!).
- Add the cayenne pepper, tumeric powder and salt. Stir to combine, then add the honey, vinegar and beer.
- If the mixture seems too thin, add up to one more tablespoon of mustard powder to help thicken it.
- Pour mustard into a small jar, cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 days before using to let the flavors combine.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a small, microwave-proof bowl whisk together the dry mustard, brown sugar, salt, turmeric, paprika and garlic powder. In a separate container, combine the pickle juice, water and cider vinegar and have standing by. Place the mustard seed into a spice grinder and grind for a minimum of 1 minute, stopping to pulse occasionally. Once ground, immediately add the mustard to the bowl with the dry ingredients and add the liquid mixture. Whisk to combine. Place the bowl into the microwave and heat on high for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave and puree with a stick blender for 1 minute. Pour into a glass jar or container and allow to cool uncovered. Once cool, cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
DRIED ENGLISH MUSTARD
For those of us across the pond (and in other parts of the world too) who can't easily find this neat condiment, and/or only need a little bit and don't want a huge bottle, for making traditional English dishes. The flour gives it substance and turmeric heats it up-- it's a fab substitute for plain ground mustard when making macaroni and cheese sauce! Feel free to adjust upward or downward depending on how much you need-- this is to make a "spice rack" sized bottle. In a fancy spice bottle, it makes a nice gift for the Anglophile in your life! 1 SERVING = 1 TSP, 12 TSP IN 4 OZ

Steps:
- Sift all the ingredients together in a small bowl and pour into an airtight container.
Tips:
- Choose the right mustard seeds: Use yellow mustard seeds for a mild flavor, brown mustard seeds for a more pungent flavor, or a combination of both for a balanced flavor.
- Prepare the mustard seeds: Rinse the mustard seeds in a fine-mesh strainer and pick out any debris. Soak the mustard seeds in cold water for at least 4 hours or overnight to soften them.
- Grind the mustard seeds: Use a food processor, blender, or mortar and pestle to grind the mustard seeds into a fine powder. You can adjust the coarseness of the powder to your preference.
- Make a mustard paste: Combine the ground mustard seeds with water, vinegar, and salt to form a smooth paste. You can adjust the consistency of the paste by adding more or less water.
- Season the mustard paste: Add your desired seasonings to the mustard paste, such as turmeric, ginger, garlic, or honey. You can also add herbs, spices, or other ingredients to create a unique flavor profile.
- Store the mustard paste: Transfer the mustard paste to a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store the mustard paste in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
