Great receipe I just made lots.
I made it using the ingredients as she gave them as far as measurements. I bought black mustard seed and split small yellow mustard seeds from the Indian food market as they were so much cheaper. The Indian mustard seeds did not absorb liquid as much as the ones she used. I strained them and found that I had about 2 cups of liquid left over after making the puree, but it was delicious, and it is sitting now aging. Already tasty and waiting for it to age more for heat. I added two teaspoons of turmeric at the end for color.
table salt is no good. It is no salt at all.
I made this mustard and I thought it tasted like ear wax but I let it sit for a month in the fridge and now it is the best tasting mustard we have ever had. I am making more tonight.
I made two batches of this over the weekend for an Oktoberfest celebration. I used white-wine vinegar, because I didn't have enough apple cider vinegar. Both batches came out perfect. I didn't have enough time to let the mustard sit and intensify, but that was OK. It was already pretty intense right out of the food processor. This mustard was amazing on brats and with soft, chewy pretzels. One tip. If you're going to make a lot of this, try buying your yellow and brown mustard seeds in bulk. At my local Safeway, a small jar of brown mustard seeds was almost $10. At a different store that had bulk spices, the same quantity of brown mustard seeds was just a bit over $2.
Wonderful! Love Julia and love ATK!
Julia is fantastic.
Seeds not absorbing liquid after 24 hrs. What do I do?
Please make home made ketchup just like the ones in the supermarket.
Weck makes plastic snap caps for their jars.
Definitely going to try this. However, I like a higher whole grain to ground ratio so adjustments will have to be made.
I love this!
This looks cool. Can’t wait to give this a try!
I had no clue how easy it would be to make it at home. I bet it tastes so much more flavorful too. I can't wait to make it !!
The temperature of the water you use will affect the spice level of the mustard. Cold water will make hot mustard and warm water will make mellow mustard.
Making my mouth water. So delicious looking. Does anyone know how long it keeps in the refrigerator? Thanks Julia! Another fun recipe. I love when you cook at home.

I think mustard
Made mine with a Maple Stout IPA, that my brother-in-law brewed.
😮😮😮😮 need to try.
How sharp is the homemade stuff? I really don’t like the horseradishy sharpness, but not sure if that comes from added horseradish or the mustard seeds alone are enough to create that.
Pretty cool👍
Absolutely love this! Can't wait to make it 😍
