Make your own mustard

I made my own ketchup recently. I didn't realize that there wasn't any in my refrigerator and I needed some for a recipe. That was a successful experiment.

The other day I noticed that I was getting to the bottom of my squeeze bottle of yellow mustard and thought I would attempt to make my own mustard, since the ketchup went so well.

I used the recipe below; it was a success. It tastes like basic yellow mustard but with a kick! Not like spicy stoneground mustard, but kind of like spicy stoneground mustard.

Yellow Mustard:

INGREDIENTS:
4 T. yellow mustard flour/powder
1/2 t. flour
3/8 t. salt
1/8 t. turmeric
pinch of garlic powder
pinch of paprika
1/4 C. water
3 T. vinegar

PREPARATION:
Mix dry ingredients in small saucepan. Add water and vinegar; mix. Bring to boil over medium heat. Turn heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for one minute. Cover and cool completely. Transfer to container and refrigerate.

Made My Own Ketchup

I was making the Tempeh Joe from Happy Herbivore last night when I discovered that I didn't have any ketchup in the house. Who doesn't have a most basic condiment like ketchup in the house? Me apparently.

Thanks to Google, I found a ketchup recipe. It tastes like ketchup, though not as thick as Heinz.

Ketchup:

INGREDIENTS:
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
1/4 C. white vinegar
2 T. brown sugar
1/2 T. garlic powder
1/2 T. onion powder
1/2 t. salt
1 1/4 C. water

Mix it all together and done.
