How to make mustard - from mustard seed to condiment!

[@DBrentWalton]

I've been making homemade mustard from seeds for years. I usually don't make the American-style yellow mustard, but practically every other variety. I soak my seeds in the vinegar I want for flavoring my mustard. There's a comment about dijon mustard, for that @JigJagging I use a white wine vinegar. The fun part about mustard making is experimenting. Typically if I want a dijon mustard I'll add some tarragon for a slightly different, but Frenchy flavor. (Great on ham.) I've also grown my own horse radish and added that to my mustard for a stronger flavor. You almost can't go wrong making your own mustard. After grinding your seed, sample it every step of the way after adding various ingredients. Add a little at a time and taste before adding more. Key ingredients I might use: Required: Mustard seeds (of course - I buy mine from an Indian grocery store) Vinegar (different varieties yield different flavors) Optional: Water Salt Sugar (if you want a sweeter mustard) Other herbs and spices (turmeric, tarragon, horseradish, beets, to name a few) Also, after you have made it, let it sit in the fridge for a few days. It takes time for the flavors to develop. Then, when you are ready to sample. I recommend a soda cracker so you're just getting the mustard flavor, and then I go for some summer sausage to see how well it goes with meats. Remember, a mustard seed is like faith. It's a small thing that can lead to bigger and better things. ;)

Thank you! ❤ I will try just bought black mustard seeds but l wonder how to make it last for a long time? Does it have to be fermented with some sourcraut juice?

Our family has been growing mustard for 6 years. Happy to see some homegrown methods being implemented for our efforts. Thanks for sharing

[@floramew]

Oooh, this looks easy enough even for me to do! I don't have mortar and pestle yet, but once I get around to ordering it, I'll try making this. Probably with a LOT more turmeric, bc I take it daily for the anti inflammatory properties, and enjoy sometimes mixing the amount into my food instead of just taking the pills.

I’m sorry you have so many asinine commenters on this, I thought this was great to use as a starting point for my mustard adventure! I didn’t watch any others and my mustard has turned out just as I wanted it. So thank you! And like Billy Joel says- don’t take any s&[¥ from anyone! Thanks again!

[@musa2775]

I used a good pinot grigio and 50/50 brown and yellow seeds and fermented it in a dark cabinet for 3 weeks, crushed 60% of the seeds to paste, and it turned out DELICIOUS.

[@DBrentWalton]

That sounds good.

[@charlesstuart1119]

Great idea! You get probiotics and it last a long time when you ferment it, that is what l was looking for! ❤🎉❤

[@charlesstuart1119]

How do you ferment it may l ask?

[@rocketfishstudios-facebook4758]

I was just doing my shopping list, looking to add Mustard, when I came across Mustard Seeds and thought, why the hell don't I find out how to use these things and make it from scratch. Which, then brought me straight here and now after watching this, I'm going back to add the Mustad Seeds to my list lol. I've already got all sorts of crazy ideas on other flavours to add :) This is going to be fun :)

[@DBrentWalton]

One more comment... If you plan on putting your home made mustard in canning jars (the type with metal lids), do NOT use iodized salt, but use Kosher or sea salt (without iodine) instead. The iodine along with the acidity will eat through the metal lid in time and your mustard will taste like iron. (YUCK). In fact, when storing anything in a jar with a metal lid, don't use iodized salt.

From what I recall, Dijon style uses a white wine vinegar instead of distilled white vinegar.

You're videos are awesome mate keep it up

[@punkyfeathers1639]

Thanks for making this. I would like to learn how to make simple condiments and mother sauces.

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

I thought I might be able to help you with one sauce that is considered a mother sauce (however it actually isn’t if you research the matter more carefully, but that is besides the point lol). I’ve been making this sauce since I was a kid… It was one of the first things my dad taught me how to make because I love Eggs Benedict so much. Ingredients: 1 stick of butter (1/2 a cup - a.k.a. 8 Tablespoons butter), 2 egg yolks, and 3 Tablespoons of lemon juice concentrate. First I put the egg yolks in the sauce pan, and then I add lemon juice concentrate (I’ve tried actual juice squeezed from lemons, and I think it tastes disgusting in comparison, and I can’t understand why that is, but it is what it is). I mix those egg yolks and the lemon juice concentrate together real well with a fork before anything else is done (I will be honest and tell you that sometimes I do this part in a bowl instead of in the sauce pan, but if you wanted to save washing a dish, the bowl isn’t necessary). Then I cut up the stick of butter into small cubes so that it can melt very quickly. I add all of those small cubes of butter into the sauce pan and start the fire on the lowest setting possible. Then it is simply a matter of standing there and stirring it with a wooden spoon constantly without ever stopping for a second until the butter is completely melted and it becomes the consistency that you’d expect for the finished product. It doesn’t take long at all! Now here is the important part: When the sauce reaches the desired consistency, _turn off the fire immediately! Take your sauce pan off of that hot range immediately!_ Keep stirring it for maybe a minute longer or so, for there to be assurance that there won’t be any danger of the sauce separating whatsoever. *And that is it! You don’t need to use any extra bowls or anything like that, like what so many people do with water bath nonsense.* *BON APPETITE!* P.S. Put a dash of paprika on top of the sauce on the finished dish, and that’s it! NOT COMPLICATED, BUT DELISH AF! :) P.S.S. If you don’t like lemon juice, then this sauce is NOT for you.

[@punkyfeathers1639]

@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Thank you so much! I love eggs Benedict and so does my husband. I will make this tomorrow and let you know how it turns out. What else is this sauce good on?

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

@@punkyfeathers1639 No problem! I’ll be curious to hear how it comes out indeed. :) As far as other uses for the sauce, the internet will be your friend for finding all sorts of creative uses for it. A couple of my favorites are on top of asparagus or broccoli (which totally makes sense if you love lemon juice like I do, because the other ways that I love to fix these vegetables is with mayonnaise and lemon juice mixed up for topping asparagus, and broccoli drenched with lemon juice, melted butter, and some sea salt - YUM! 🤤 😋 ). I am a vegetarian (so I make my eggs benedict with MorningStar Farms breakfast strips - a.k.a. fake bacon), but I hear that it tastes good on certain meats, like poached salmon and steak. Another good use is in breakfast sandwiches (i.e. scrambled eggs, cheese, hashbrowns, bacon - fake bacon for me of course haha - etc). Hope that helps! Are you going to make it with eggs benedict for your first attempt? I hope it comes out well! By the way, if the sauce happens to separate on you, don’t panic. It happens to the best of us sometimes (it happened to me a lot when I was learning as a kid)! There is a great KZbin cooking channel called “NOT ANOTHER COOKING SHOW“ that did a video a while ago about how to salvage hollandaise sauce that has broken/separated, and it looks very easy to implement! So you may want to look up his video on hollandaise sauce in advance and watch that video just in case it happens to you. I’m sure you’ll do just fine though if you follow my instructions to the letter. 😊

[@caseyalanjones]

What if I like the "yellow" mustard flavor, but don't care about the color? Can I use the browner seeds and skip turmeric, or will that change the flavor a lot?

[@vincentelliott7445]

Thank you. Really helpful video. Thanks.

[@Chris-dw6cu]

Interesting method! You are the only one I've seen who doesn't heat the mustard. Many heat it for up to 20 minutes. Is there a reason for this? Does it taste different raw then when heated? Also I need to use lemon juice rather than vinegar. How much do you recommend using as a sub for vinegar?

[@jingdono]

Apparently, heating mustard, or using hot/warm water to make the mustard, tends to kill the heat. However, some recipes heat the liquid (eg if you want to add a beer syrup) and let it cool to room temp or fridge temp before adding it to the mustard in order to preserve the heat. From what I understand, an acid like lemon juice should work in the same way. The reason for adding an acid is to fix the mustard at a heat level to slow the loss of spice heat over time. So personally, I'd try using the same volume of lemon juice as vinegar as a first test. It's not like preserving where the acidity matters to keep the food from spoiling. Mustard is basically going to preserve itself, so long as you don't put things in it that will spoil.

[@Kristallscheibenknecht]

I love mustard and if its so easy to make, I will do it next week :)

[@TomasKorbel92]

is it possible to let them ferment for some time?

[@dpfunk78]

Could this be done in a food processor?

[@horstmeier512]

Its possible, yes. I did it in a spice mill and as long as you get a fine powder you can do it. Tip: a lil bit of oil makes this even better.

[@DBrentWalton]

I have a tiny food-processor/spice-grinder I use for small batches. For large batches I use my Vitamix. In a previous comment I said I soak my seeds in vinegar. Most of the time the soak is not enough and I need to add either more water or vinegar depending on the acidity of the vinegar. As to a big food processor... I'm not sure. I don't own one. But, my Vitamix blender works great for making mustard. All I can say is it won't hurt to try it. And, even if it doesn't crush the seeds all the way, grainy mustards are quite good on hotdogs and with other meats.

[@nashsok]

Hmm, wonder what mustard would taste like if you picked the seeds first? I might have to give that a try one of these days!

[@zuthalsoraniz6764]

I think for grinding the mustard seeds, a coarse sea salt would be even better than normal salt - at least that is the case when using salt to grind garlic into a paste in the mortar, and I see no reason why it wouldn't be analogous for this process.

[@__Rodrigo__]

dude, you can cook the final mustard a little to control the level of spiceness, i do this to sell and i use the brasilian recipe where you keep the mustar soak in water and then in vinegar

[@__Rodrigo__]

the longer it cook the milder it gets, a minute in fire keeps fairly spice and about five to six more like fast food like

[@Dawn-zo2ny]

It might be better to boil the water first, then let it cool before adding it to the mustard seeds, because less bacteria forms with boiled water, unless your refrigerator is putting out high amounts of moisture which also creates bacteria....

[@leesweets4110]

Not to be lazy, but why waste time and expend energy removing the seed husks? Are they not digestible, or give an awful texture? And didnt the back of the bottle also mention paprika?

tip for anyone doing this that wants to try it with powdered mustard, DONT, unless you REALLY LIKE the taste of horseraddish. i guess by starting from powder, the reaction can happen more, becasue it didnt go away after a full month sitting in the fridge when i tried LOL.

I find that making mustard using powder does mean waiting a month for it to 'settle' the flavour. Still makes great mustard, but you have to be patient.

I'll be honest tho, I've only made about six litres of mustard so far, so I'm not an expert by any means

@@jingdono personally ive only done it the once, but i wouldnt mind trying again, only with a more patient stance, like, store it in the back of the cuppord for a month or so before transfering it to the fridge and trying to eat it.

It adds a small amount of flavor (at least I can taste it). Personally, I don't care for "yellow mustard". To me, it doesn't taste like mustard, but a sour vinegary paste. My wife's just the opposite. She says I like "weird mustards". I tell her that her yellow mustard is the "weird" mustard. LOL

Yeah, some finely ground mustard can do that. I find making mustard with ground mustard flour (like Colman's) could be a bit expensive. I can buy a HUGE bag of mustard seed at the Indian grocery store for the price of a single can of Colman's. What I do like to do with Colman's is just mix it with a tiny bit of water to have with Chinese BBQ pork. Love it.
