Spicy German style mustard

Feb 28 2014

Mustard is one of my favorite condiments. I like it on about any sandwich and will even add a good tablespoon to my chili right before eating it. At any one time I usually have 4 kinds on hand. My favorite standard yellow is Plochmans, I like Dijon, country style and good German style. My favorite lately was German Lowensenf  Extra and just bought some Dusseldorf style that is good. The grocery quit carrying the Lowensenf.

I think it was last year I made some homemade that was supposed to be German style but I didn’t care for it. I found a new recipe that sounded good to me. I am not sure where the recipe came from, I found it at 4 or 5 places on the net and all were almost exactly alike so I think it is safe to post here.

I got the mustard seeds soaking in the beer and apple cider vinegar for overnight in the fridge. After baking a loaf of bread this morning I made up the mustard. I made mine smooth and thought it came out great, just the right amount of heat for me. It makes the right amount for one family, just over a pint. I will make this recipe again.

Ingredients except the vinegar

Recipe:

Spicy beer mustard

Ingredients
Makes just over a pint

•   1/3 cup yellow mustard seeds
•   1/4 cup brown mustard seeds, I didn’t have brown so used all yellow
•   1/2 cup cider vinegar, I used organic
•   1 cup dark beer, divided, I used Leinenkugels Hoppin Helles
•   3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
•   2 tablespoons honey
•   1 teaspoon Kosher salt, used Hawaiian red sea salt
•   1/2 teaspoon turmeric
•   1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
•   1 heaping teaspoon of ground yellow mustard

Procedures
In a small bowl, cover yellow and brown mustard seeds with vinegar and 1/2 cup of beer. Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight.

In a small saucepan, mix together remaining ½ cup of beer, sugar, honey, salt, turmeric, and allspice. Bring to a boil and remove from the heat to cool.

In the jar of a blender add mustard seeds with their soaking liquid and cooled mixture from saucepan. Puree until smooth. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate overnight before using.

Note: Since I didn’t have brown mustard seeds I wasn’t sure it would be hot enough so added the ground yellow mustard. I also thought I could add some horseradish if needed. It came out with enough heat for me.
I did mine in a food processor and made it pretty smooth; you can make it as grainy as you want.
I made some German style mustard last year but it was not that great. This is a good recipe and will use it in the future. To me it tasted similar to Lowensenf or Dusseldorf.

Nice and smooth looking Don. I love the color from the turmeric too. I love good homemade mustard. Thanks for the detailed recipe. I'll give it a try.



One warning about the beer choice.  Be careful not to use a beer that is too bitter.

I love a good dark lager with woody tones and got some imported Dunkle (a very dark lager) back at New years.  I thought I'd try some of it  for homemade mustard... BIG mistake... batch ruined.

It was the absolute worst tasting mustard that has ever touched my lips.

Did you process the mustard in a water bath after making it?

No most recipes I have found say just in a clean jar, sterilize if you are fussy, I don't and they say should last 3 months in fridge. Don
