Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Yellow mustard seeds
• 1 cup Ground mustard powder
• 1.5 cups White vinegar
• 1 cup Honey
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the yellow mustard seeds and ground mustard powder. Stir in 1/2 cup of white vinegar and 1/2 cup of water. Allow the mixture to sit for 2 hours to hydrate the mustard seeds and develop flavor.

Step 2

After 2 hours, transfer the mixture to a medium saucepan. Add the remaining white vinegar, water, honey, salt, turmeric powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mustard thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 5

Remove the mustard from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth, if desired. Alternatively, leave it slightly coarse for texture.

Step 6

Prepare your canning jars by sterilizing them in boiling water for 10 minutes. Keep jars hot until ready to use.

Step 7

Fill each heated jar with the hot honey mustard, leaving a 1/4-inch headspace at the top.

Step 8

Use a non-metallic utensil to remove any air bubbles and wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth.

Step 9

Place the sterilized lids and screw bands onto the jars until fingertip-tight.

Step 10

Process the jars in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes (adjust for altitude if necessary).

Step 11

Remove the jars from the canner and let them cool completely on a towel or cooling rack for 12-24 hours. Check the seals—lids should not flex when pressed.

Step 12

Label the jars with the date and store them in a cool, dark place. Use within 12 months for best quality.
