By Order of The Cap'n - The Captain's Mustard :)

Man, what a day!
I was awakened this morning to someone pounding on my door. I went downstairs to answer and there were two of the biggest scallywags ever to walk the deck of a ship standing there. I would have just gone to the phone and called 911 but for the cutlasses in their belts and the really strange smiles on their faces. So, I slowly opened the door and asked how I could help them. The one on the left says, “Arrr, we be havin a message for you from the Cap’in.” and he hands me a note.

I looked at them after I read it and the other one says, “We’re dry docked here with ye till it’s finished.” and his hand slips to the hilt of his cutlass. No messing with these two. Again my better judgment I let them in. We went into the kitchen and fixed some coffee. Filled 3 mugs and sat down. The first one that had spoken pulls a package out of his coat and hands it to me. “A gift from the Cap’in” he says lickin his lips and holdin his mug expectantly. I peel away the paper and find a bottle of the Captains finest rum. Sos I pour a round into our coffee and begin to contemplate the message. After a second round of coffee I’m startin to get an idea. “We need to go to shopping.” I said. We all pile into the car and off to Publics. Now I’ve never been one to put on airs and have to be dressed proper just to go to the store but try explaining shopping with 2 Pirates. With provisions in hand we shove off for home port.

After nother round of coffee I start pealing and hacking everything into the pot. Had to zest an orange

About this time it dawns on me that I haven’t seen or heard anything form those 2 salty dogs and sure enough they’re passed out on the couch. Maybe you can tell me Paulky, just what doyou do with a drunkin sailor? Or 2? Couple of kicks to the boots and they’re back among the living. I show them the bottles and tell them they’re ready to go. “Arrr, just a minute there you, how do wes know that’s what the Cap’in was wantin? Why you could’ve just put some purty water in them bottles. “ Sos I open one and shake me out a cpl a teaspoons full and give it to em. Yu’d a thought I’d fed them buoy’s cannon powder! They’s cussin and spittin and goin for the water in the faucet like they’s wasn’t enough . Me. I’s laughin son hard I’s about to pee my shorts. Couple a glass fulls ah milk later they calmed down. “Cap’in ull like that he will.” Says number 2. Number 1 shakes his head and looks at me, “Cap’in says your to test it with the SoFlo posse. Says he’ll be lookin for what they think ah it on thehotpepper.com”
“Ok” I says, “I’ll make sure they get it. I guess you’d be shoving off now?”
“ Aye, we’ve to meet the Cap’in in 2 days in Kingstown. We be shippin out with the Disney Dream. “ I walked them to the door and as they were getting into the cab Number 1 gives me a wink and says, “Enjoy the rum.” And they were gone.

Damnedest mornin I err had. “Arrrrrrrrrrrrr”

Ok, I've revived this thread because, well I'll be making another batch of The Captain's Sauce this week but, a beerbreath81 you got me to thinking about this again, I've had several things in mind for a line of things that feature Captain Morgans Rum and a Mustard has been one of them. I haven't completely fleshed it out but here's the start
 
147F2FF6-81A5-4028-8708-3D20E63E72FA_zpsyqbbuofi.jpg

 
and setting the seeds to soaking.

I'll check them tonight and see how much the seeds have softened. Now what else to add to this, thinking about some of these:
 
Honey, duh :)
mango
papaya
blood orange
lemon
lime
brown sugar
Fatalii Powder
Orange Habanero and Jalapeno Powder
?????
 
Now this is what I call fun y'all :)
 
After 24 hour soak in pure Captain Morgans Rum. The seeds have soaked up a good portion of the rum. This picture is after I added some hot water to them to cover and keep them wet. Seeds were still hard so I'll see how that are tonight.

The smell was nothing short of amazing, spiced rum and mustard. This might wind up being more of a mustard sauce but either way it going to be epic and I see a load of wings coming up ;)
 
That looks like an interesting experiment Bill. I'll be waiting to see how it comes out. As for naval jargon... Keep to the weather glass Mister Thornton... Cross the "T" and fire broadside!
 
i wonder how much of that rum you drank while making that sauce??? :drunk:
 
in the immortal words of "CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW "why is all the rum gone??" (first movie curse of the black pearl)
 
thanks your friend Joe
 
Joe, thanks for stoping by, the ricipe calls for 1 cup out of a 1 Lyr Bottle, cheers :)

Ok, let's make the Captain some Mustard!

Y'all do understand that the RocketMan thinks outside the box, right?

:)

Ok, you knew some Honey was going to be involved!
Oh, and a bit of Brown Sugah too ;)

The smell coming off of this is amazing but the taste! OMG, I can't wait for a week to pass so I can slap some of this mustard onto a Sourdough roll and commence to bitting :)
The 4 on the Left are not heated and the 4 on the Right have Fatalii powder added to them. Giving them a week to get all happy and then will taste test them again.

Peace Out!
 
Ok, here's how I did it.
 
Ingredients:
 
Mustard Seed
Mustard Powder
Captain Morgans Rum
Orange Pekoe Tea
Rice Vinegar
Medium Mango
Honey
Brown Sugar
Candied Ginger
Fatalii Powder
 
- Combine Mustard Seeds and Rum and let soak for 2 days or till the seeds are soft. Pour into a Blender, this needs to be a powerful blender cause this is going to get thick, and blend till smooth and the seeds are mostly broken up. 
 
- Add Mango and continue to blend.
 
- Add the Mustard Powder and blend to combine then add Rice Vinegar and Orange Pekoe tea.
 
- Add the rest of the ingredients (if your planning for some of it to not be hot don't add the Fatalii powder yet) and continue to blend till it's all mixed together well.
 
- After you've removed whatever portion you want not to be hot, add the Fatalii or other powder and blend till combined. 
 
- Bottle into sterile bottles and allow them to sit for 2 weeks for the mustard to develop it's final flavor. Your taste now will be VERY upfront HOT Mustard flavor and will take that long for the flavors to mellow and get all happy together.
 
If you read about making mustard online you'll find a lot of talk about storing mustard. I didn't see any mention about needing to check the Ph but did see it mentioned that Mustard has anti-bacterial properties and is shelf safe. I didn't try to take the Ph as low as I do with a sauce but did get it down to 4.0.
 
Nope, there was no heat used in making this mustard. Why you ask, it's because heating mustard, from what I read, will kill a LOT of the flavor of the mustard as well as the heat. 
 
Cheers Y'all, Mike, Mike, what day is it?
 
:dance:  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:
 
Great turn out, looks amazing.  Thanks for posting recipe.  May have to make another run of mustard :D
 
Was curious when you say "VERY upfront HOT Mustard flavor" I assume you are reffering to the "nose burn"?  When I made mine, i let it sit for 2 months trying to get rid of the nose burn, it never did mellow and I found that heating it up got rid of it?? 
 
here is a video from how its made...while watching it I was looking for them to reference cooking it, which they never really do. They mention that the stone grinding process heats the mustard to about 140 but around 404 I hear them say that both types of mustard need to cool overnight before bottling.

I be looking for an update...
Good luck
 
Yeah bb81 from what I read the nose burn comes from an enzyme, like the burn from horseradish. Heating it up kills the enzyme so the nose burn goes away but it also said that you 'll loose a lot of the mustard flavor that way too.
 
Thinking about trying this with a Stout, Guinness (?), or maybe a good IPA, maybe Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA. In my mind I see the Hops and the Mustard kind of complementing each other. What do you think wheebz?

there is a place pub near my house that makes their own guinness mustard. Its really good! kind of a grainy mustard!
 
We'll, I went to print out the labels for the sauce and hooked up my external hard drive only to find out it had died, went down with all hands (files) lost in the Cyber Sea. I finally settled down after using some rather salty language and threatening to give it a burial at sea and created a couple of new ones. I actually like these so much more I may just contact the artists about use after this become a profession rather than just a hobby.

Keep a weather eye out for the lads to be in uniform in the morning. They're drying now ;)

Arrg!
 
Finally cracked open a bottle of the Mustard last night and DANG!!! is it good! No nose burn and the perfect balance of flavors and heat. 
 
BB, there was no nose burn at all from that pesky enzyme. Did I read in your write up that you kept it in the Fridge? In the article I read on making mustard it said that keeping it in the fridge will keep the nose burn so I put mine on a shelf in the pantry for 2 weeks.
 
The flavor of the mustard it there and I can now taste the mango and Cpt Morgans. Now, where are those Brats?
 
RM,
 
The mustard looks awesome and nice work on the labels too them things are frickin sweet. Good to hear that you dont have the nose burn from the mustard, yes I did keep mine in the fridge. May have to give another go sometime, this time omiting the fridge and the cookin of the sauce.
 
Avast, Me Hardies! 
 
The mustard went so fast I have to make another batch. My future son-in-law went crazy for it and all my local friends that received a bottle are begging for more, that's not a bad thing though :)
 
So the Quartermaster will be on a supply run tonight. Other than that, 
 
IT"S NATIONAL BEER DAY!!!
