Old World Sweet Hot Mustard Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Mix and use with pickle relish and pass more on the side.

Steps:

• Combine the vinegar, water, onion, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon stick, allspice, cloves, and turmeric in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Allow the liquid to boil rapidly to reduce the volume by half, about 10 minutes.
• Put the yellow and brown mustard seeds in a medium heat-proof bowl. Strain the hot vinegar mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into the bowl of mustard seeds. Use a heat-proof silicone spatula to press the onions into the strainer to extract all of the liquid. Push the mustard seeds down to completely submerge them in the liquid, cover, and refrigerate for 24 hours.
• Transfer the seeds and liquid to a food processor and process until it forms a smooth paste. Put the mustard in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least a 3 days, and preferably 1 week, before serving to allow its pungency to mellow. After about 2 weeks, the mustard is at its prime. It will keep, refrigerated, for several months. If the mustard becomes too thick as it matures, thin it out by adding a splash of vinegar or water.

Steps:

• In a small stainless steel bowl, mix the mustard and the vinegar until smooth. Allow to sit for 3 hours.
• Combine the mustard mixture with the sugar and eggs in the top of a double boiler.
• Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring regularly until thickened (the consistency of mayonnaise).
• Store in refrigerator.

Steps:

• In a nonmetallic bowl, preferably china or glazed pottery, blend together the dry mustard and sugar. Whisk in both vinegars and the salt. Let this stand, uncovered, for 24 hours.
• To finish the mustard, transfer the mustard solution to a nonmetallic saucepan (I use enameled cast iron). Whisk in the beaten eggs. Cook the mixture over moderately low heat, stirring continuously, for about 17 minutes, or until dense enough to thickly coat a spoon.
• Pour the cooked mustard into a jar, cool to room temperature and then cover and refrigerate.

Steps:

• Combine mustard and sugar in top of double boiler. Gradually whisk in vinegar, then egg. Set over simmering water and cook until mixture darkens slightly and mellows in flavor, stirring frequently, about 12 minutes. Transfer to jar with tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate mustard until ready to use. (Can be prepared 4 weeks ahead.)
