Skip the boring mass produced yellow mustard and make it just the way you like it. The possibilities are endless.
Cook Time 40 minutes
Servings: 1 cup
Course: Dinner, Lunch, Sauces and Condiments
Cuisine: American
Difficulty: Moderate

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup water
  • 3/4 cup Colman's mustard powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon American paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar

Method
 

  1. Cook. Turn on you kitchen vent fan or better still, make this outdoors on your grill. Remember, mustard gas is right up there with pepper spray. Whisk everything except the vinegar together in a non-reactive pot and simmer over medium to low until it thickens, about 30 minutes. Stir often so it doesn't burn.
  2. Stir in the vinegar and simmer some more until it is the thickness you like. Then pour it into a clean bottle and refrigerate. It will be pretty potent for a few days, and then it will mellow and keep for months.
  3. Serve. Use as you would your usual store-bought mustard.
