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.

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.

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:
