That’s it, my friends. I hope you enjoy my spicy mustard recipe. Let me know if you make it. I’d love to hear how it turned out for you, and if you decided to spice it up! In our house, it is pretty important to have a nice selection of sauces and condiments on hand, especially ones you can make yourself, and it’s hard to beat a good homemade mustard in the summer. Instead of going the sweet route, we decided to move in a spicier direction, dropping the honey and swapping it for one of the world’s most outstanding chili peppers - the habanero. I often point to the habanero as a gateway pepper. Much like the jalapeno pepper is the gateway for many into the spicy food world, an introduction of sorts, the habanero pepper is the gateway into a more fiery realm, where the heat really ticks up a notch. Or ten. Don’t worry. You can reduce the heat by removing the innards, and much of the heat is absorbed by the mustard, but you want some heat. I know you do. This mustard alone is already pretty darned pungent. You’ll definitely want some added habanero love. So good! Pretty soon you’ll be looking to make some ghost pepper mustard. Hmmm. Ideas are striking… Let’s talk about how to make spicy whole grain mustard, shall we? I’m using three types of mustard seeds - yellow, brown, and black - for more pungency. Habaneros and Salt. Stir in the habanero peppers and salt. Mix well. Serve Up the Spicy Mustard! Set the mustard into a sterilized jar and serve! The flavors will keep developing as time goes by. Enjoy! Doesn’t it look scrumptious? Doesn’t it make you want to just dive right in? Better than any spicy brown mustard out there. Bust out the hot dogs! Excuse me while I make something that needs mustard… Or, you can look into pressure canning. If you try this recipe, please let us know!
