Easy homemade mustard made from mustard seeds, apple cider vinegar, honey, and turmeric. No preservatives or high fructose corn syrup.
Prep Time10 minutes
Total Time1 day
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mustard seeds yellow or brown
  • 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tbs honey
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1-2 tbs water for consistency optional

Instructions

  • Combine 1/2 cup mustard seeds, 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar, and 1/4 cup water in a large container.
  • Cover and let sit at room temperature for 1-2 days. The seeds will soften and absorb the vinegar.
  • The seeds will absorb almost all of the liquid.
  • Pour the soaked seeds, honey, turmeric, and salt into a blender and process to your desired consistency.
  • Add 1-2 tablespoons of water if you prefer a thinner mustard.
  • Add more honey if you prefer it sweeter.
  • Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate.
  • Let age in the refrigerator for at least one week for best flavor. It will get stronger and spicier with time.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to one month.

Notes

Use yellow seeds for a milder mustard or brown/black seeds for a more pungent flavor. Ideally use equal parts yellow and brown seeds. The mustard improves with age and is best after one week of refrigeration. Perfect condiment for hot dogs, burgers, and grilling.
