Peter and pods,

Making mustard is easy and I think it was discussed here a week or so 
ago. I have, for the first time, made homemade mustard and once you 
do, you will never buy store brand again!

I first visited the Penzey's website to see what they had for mustard 
recipes. I then went out and bought dry mustard (at first I thought 
that Coleman's was the only brand....they are expensive!), but found 
ground mustard even in the dollar store.  All you have to do is mix 1 
cup mustard powder with equal parts of water and vinegar (or you can 
use beer, wine, etc. for part of the liquid), some honey, salt and I 
of course, added minced hot peppers.  Mix in a non reactive bowl and 
store in glass containers.  I let it sit for a few days, weeks is 
better. This stuff will take your fillings out.  We just dip in 
pretzels and eat straight from the jar.

Have fun with it.  Everyone I know wants me to make it for them.

Linda
