Homemade mustard HFH

Been looking at some recipes, and wondering if I can hot fill and hold in woozy bottles if the ph is right.

Also interested in how you guys would go about making the sauce. I want it to be a spicy mustard with a touch of honey.

I'm about to go and find some mustard seed this morning
 
OK how long should i let this rest before adding the white wine vinegar? I added a little ice cold water and sealed it in a small Mason jar. Had to add a tiny bit more cuz it got a tad dry
 
2 tbs black mustard seeds
2 tbs brown mustard seeds
Ground both the seeds
1 tsp Coleman's yellow mustard powder
1.5 tsp Dijon mustard powder
 
Smells killer too btw.
 
I dont use mustard much myself. The most i ever use is the base for a dry rub on pork. I like stuff like Grey Poupon mixed with mayo on a turkey sammich though. Jack Daniels used to offer a Southwest Mustard i really liked but they quit selling it. Plus it was way over priced.
 
INGREDIENTS:
VINEGAR, MUSTARD SEED, HORSERADISH, SUGAR, SALT, PEPPERS, CAYENNE PEPPER, SPICES, JACK DANIEL'S(R) TENNESSEE WHISKEY FLAVORING (NATURAL & ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS).
 
The only other thing i do like occasionally is a honey mustard type sauce for chicken nuggets/strips. That about all my brother likes too. Pops on the other hand loves all kinds of mustard. Not so much with peppers but he loves hot mustard or mustard with horseradish. Ive got several mustard powders including S&B which really has some zip to it, Colemans and a Dijon powder from myspicesage i got as a freebie. I think the only thing im missing atm is a white wine that is suitable but i do have a small bottle of Wild Turkey American Honey i use for cooking.
 
Just tried a small experiment for my brother who loves a honey mustard but i haven't added the honey yet. I had a feeling this vinegar would work well.
 
1 tbs Colemans
1 tbs Dijon powder
4 tsp cold water
2 tsp Colavita White Balsamic
1/8 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp panca powder
 
This is delicious just after 30min
 
Im going to need to try the white balsamic again. Its has just enough sweetness without making the mustard taste sweet. I wish i would have used it in the first test batch. I was curious so i just chucked it altogether from the start and sealed the jar. I only have a small amount of the Dijon powder. It has powdered vinegar and other stuff in it. You are just supposed to add water to it. Im gunna need to come up with a suitable imitation or buy more soon.
 
Walchit, mind posting one or two of your favorite recipes?
 
I've been using Kroger brand whole mustard seeds for some hot sauces I've been working on, and I came to realize last night that raw or toasted, the seeds taste like NOTHING. No flavor at all. Definitely one of the problems with my sauces. I'll try some Coleman's and darker indian seeds for the next few batches.
 
I just typed about ten minutes worth of details and I guess backed out.

My dad and my brother really liked the 2 i made for them. I cant believe i never made it from scratch before. Its so simple and the flavor is quite bold compared to commercial products. Outstanding mixed with mayo on leftover turkey sammies. Lucked out and found a no salt added turkey breast at Fresh Thyme for pops. They are a PITA to find and breasts are usually over 200mg sodium per 4oz. He has to buy Boarshead no salt added turkey breast for over $9/lb. I got this for under $1.50/lb. When you add up the sodium in the bread, meat and condiments it becomes way over his limit in just 1 sammich. Now he can have a sammich and not worry much about the amount in the bread. :D
 
Honey bourbon is next for sure.
