Yesterday morning I drained the mustard seeds and added these to all of the other ingredients. The seeds had swollen quite a bit over night so I was glad I had put in enough water.
These were all whizzed, and came together nicely. The texture was rough, more like a seeded mustard, as I couldn't process these any further. I was quite glad as I prefer a rougher texture.
The initial taste test had me a little worried that I have wasted quite a few ingredients and a bit of time as it was very sweet from the honey. I had read in the book that the flavours calm down a little after a few days, so I popped it into the fridge to see how it might change.
I am sooo glad I did. This mustard is amazing!
The honey calmed right down and the flavour from the seeds is really strong. If you are a fan of wasabi, this is the mustard for you.
This is a keeper. I am looking forward to trying a couple of other recipes from the book.
Take care
yum! I am waiting for my mustard plants to go to seed so I can try this (if I have to wait too long I will just buy some seed), its looks delicious. Any idea how long it will keep in the fridge?
ReplyDeleteThat would be so fabulous to use your own home-grown mustard seeds!
DeleteIn the book, it says that the mustard should last for 2 months in the fridge. I'm sure it would last longer (if you haven't eaten it all by then).
It tastes so good.
What a great result! Can't wait to see more experiments from the book.
ReplyDeleteYep, I am really happy with it.
ReplyDeleteMy next plan it to make some crackers. Fingers crossed.
excellent result. I'm going to see if the local library has the book :)
ReplyDeleteTastes great. Definitely one to track down.
DeleteI have wanted to make my own mustard and now I am convinced to give it a go. I spent yesterday bottling beetroot. Cheers wendy
ReplyDeleteSuper easy to make. I would probably just put in less honey next time.
DeleteReal bottled beetroot = YUM.
I bought that book from the book depository myself based on the name and cover. I have opened up the package however I haven't found my quiet time to take it all in and I can't wait. Regards Kathy, Brisbane, Australia
ReplyDeleteI hope you found your quiet place. Such a great book. I love the stories that go along with the recipes.
