WHISKEY MUSTARD

A spicy mustard, but if you want less heat leave out the cayenne pepper. Like the horseradish mustard I posted, this is another no-cook mustard. Good again as a gift for food loving friends. If you want you can do all the mixing in your food-processor. Prep time does not include standing time.

Categories     Spreads

Time 20m

Yield 2 1/2 cups approx

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup yellow mustard seeds
1/2 cup black mustard seeds
4 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons flour
1/2-1 teaspoon cayenne (optional) or 1/2-1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
2/3 cup cider vinegar
2/3 cup whiskey
1/2 cup runny honey
1 tablespoon grated nutmeg
1 tablespoon salt

Steps:

  • Grind the mustard seeds to a powder, I use a coffee grinder.
  • In a ceramic or glass bowl mix the mustard powder with the water and leave for half an hour.
  • Then add the flour with the cayenne (if using) mix well.
  • Add vinegar, whisky, honey, nutmeg, salt and mix until well blended.
  • Cover and leave overnight.
  • Next day: if it looks too dry add more honey, so far the times I made it it never looked too dry but sometimes too thin and I add another spoon of flour, the mustard will thicken a bit more the next weeks so keep that in mind.
  • Pour into sterilized jars and seal, allow to mature/mellow for 2 to 3 weeks in a cool dark place.
  • After opening keep in the fridge.

Tips:

  • Use good quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the mustard will taste. Look for high-quality mustard seeds, vinegar, and spices.
  • Grind the mustard seeds yourself. This will give you more control over the texture of the mustard. If you don't have a spice grinder, you can use a mortar and pestle.
  • Toast the mustard seeds before grinding. This will bring out their flavor and make them more pungent.
  • Use a variety of vinegars. Different vinegars will give the mustard different flavor profiles. Experiment with white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or red wine vinegar.
  • Add other spices and flavorings. You can add a variety of spices and flavorings to your mustard, such as garlic, onion, horseradish, or turmeric. Be creative and experiment with different combinations.
  • Let the mustard age. Aging the mustard will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. The longer you age the mustard, the more flavorful it will be.

Conclusion:

Making your own sharp dark mustard is a fun and rewarding experience. With a little time and effort, you can create a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to enhance a variety of dishes. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting condiment, give homemade sharp dark mustard a try. You won't be disappointed!
