How to Make Molasses Mustard

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup yellow mustard seeds, 1 tablespoon ground turmeric, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (if using). Pour in 1 cup apple cider vinegar. Stir well to ensure all the seeds are coated. Cover and let soak for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator.
  2. Drain off any excess vinegar from the soaked mustard seeds. Transfer the mixture to a food processor or use a mortar and pestle to thoroughly grind the seeds into a smooth paste. If using a food processor, process in short bursts to avoid overheating.
  3. With the motor running (if using a food processor), gradually add 1/2 cup of unsulphured molasses, processing until a thick paste forms.
  4. Taste the mustard and adjust the consistency. If it's too thick, add 2-4 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. For a smoother mustard, you can process for a longer period.
  5. Transfer the finished molasses mustard to sterilized jars. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks. Enjoy!
