mustard
Making mustard is fun and easy. I did not know that about cold water = hot mustard and warm water = milder mustard. I've been wondering why my mustard always comes out so hot. Not that I am complaining- I like hot mustard. But I am going to try the warm water next time and try to make a milder batch. I have a jar of brown mustard seeds, a jar of yellow mustard seeds, and a jar of mustard powder that I use in different combinations. And a spice grinder to bust those seeds up.
Mustard, water, vinegar and salt- I want to get the basics of down first and then maybe try honey or something. It is my understanding that mustard made this way will last forever, even without refrigeration. It might lose some punch, but it won't spoil.
