Recipe ReDux #12 Homemade Spicy Mustard

by 77 Comments

This is a special day guys! This month marks 1 year with the Recipe ReDux! I remember how excited and happy I was to be accepted into the wonderful group of foodie bloggers and become a member. These posts are some of my favorites. I love the fun little challenge presented to us each month. The theme for each new months gets posted on the 1st of that month. So when a new month rolls around, the first thing I do is click over to the ReDux site, log in, and check out the ever-awaited theme!

I suggested that our leaders make a Facebook group for all the member many months ago, and they finally did just that a few months ago. So now not only do we all connect each month through our linked-up recipes, but we also get to connect each day sharing our posts and visiting each others blogs. The ReDux ladies (I’m pretty sure we are all women!) are some of the best and most creative foodies. I am so happy to be a part and be able to connect with them! XOXO


October’s Theme: Spooky Spices – You know they are lurking there: Way in the back of your spice drawer. There lie the herbs, spices, or rubs that are getting dusty because you’re afraid to use them… you simply don’t know what to do with them! Well, pull them out and show us a recipe you created to deliciously conquer that fearful spice. (Or maybe the recipe was a flop – and the spice still give you nightmares?!)

With me being the spice queen and all, you’d think this would be a pretty exciting challenge. But no spice scares me so I wasn’t sure how to make this interesting for me…and for you. Until the above picture happened. My mom had bought some whole yellow mustard seeds thinking she needed them to make corned beef and the packet of spices wasn’t included. Long story short, she never ended up using the little bottle of mustard seeds and it sadly sat there in the cabinet for a while. Until I realized it was my chance to make my own homemade mustard!

I’ve wanted to do this for so long as I love DIYing foods as much as I can and I love mustard! From stoneground, Dijon, even honey, I love them all. Preferably with no salt. The best way to guarantee an additive-free safe mustard is to make your own, which is surprisingly easy. All you need are some mustard seeds, water, and vinegar. Of course you can get crazy and add spices, herbs, stevia, even salt if you are like that 😉

You let the seeds soak for 24-48 hours. Then you blend them up into a nice fluffy mustard! Perfect for spreads on sandwiches, mixed into dressings, added to veggies, etc. Just a nice healthy way to add some flavor and spice to any dish or food without all the processed craziness! Plus you look pretty badass for making your own mustard. It’s pretty “badge and crown” worthy if I do say so!

      Condiments make the world go’round, haha! And surprisingly, this ketchup lover has yet to make that homemade!

      Haha, yes! I’ll still get bottles (I always have at least 3 types in the fridge!), but it is fun to make once in a while when I’m not lazy!

    Try soaking the mustard seeds in white wine. I’ve made a version of Dijon and some Okterberfest beer mustard too. I love the spices you added to yours. (Over from Pure Blog Love link-up.)

    Very unique recipe and sounds quite tasty. I never actually thought about making my own mustard sauce. Thanks for sharing on Real Food Fridays. Pinned & twitted.

    Ha! Sounds so easy. My boys love flavored mustards and it would be so easy to customize a homemade mustard. Thanks for sharing – I’m going to give it a try!
