Canning Jalapeno mustard recipe...
Comments (27)Thank you all for posting. You have, for the most part, answered my question. I completely understand your concerns in not saying "it's ok to do it this way, it won't hurt you". I understand the "probablys", "supposes" and "my guesses" are to be followed at your own risk. You have provided alot of insight on canning safety that I wasn't aware of in the past. That being said, I think I am going to do the following: try to find a "tested and safe" similar recipe on a reputable canning site (if you know of any links, please post them), (but if not, use my friend's original recipe), and add less peppers, less flour and cook them longer and use the coarse mustard. I may also try acidifying them overnight like Carol stated. I do think I am going to decrease the sugar though, but not by much. I will also use common sense before eating it. Obviously, if the lid has popped, or has visible bacteria, mold or other growth, smells, looks or tastes funny, then I will without a doubt, pitch it. I will also eat very small amounts the first time after storage until I'm sure it hasn't made me sick. This will also be stored in a very cool basement at all times and will soley be for my use only. I will also be using my past experience when canning this. The original recipe (which I can't find but can get) was given to me by a friend who has been making this for decades, as well as his mother before him, and they have never stated sickness or contamination with any of their batches. I have made this myself the past 3 years and have never had a batch go bad or have gotton sick. So my line of thinking is, although not "tested and safe", if I decrease the amount of ingredients that cause botulism (aside from the sugar), and increase the ingredients that help prevent it, I "should" be at least as ok as I was with the last recipe, if not in better shape. If you feel my logic is seriously flawed in some way, please speak up...I will proably start this recipe tomorrow. Thanks again, and if anyone has any known safe canning sites with good recipes, please post them for me. P.S. Anyone have any safe ideas for preserving habaneros? I also have a ton of those with no idea what to do with them! Might just freeze or pickle them but I really wanted to be a little more creative than that ;)...See MoreMustard recipes for canning?
Comments (6)I've been designing mustard to attempt a better pairing with food. Now recall that our mustard in the UK tends to be hotter, more bitter than those I've typically found in the US, but here is a simple recipe, optimised for pork: 2tbsp yellow mustard seed 2tbsp black mustard seed put in a jar, cover with cider vinegar plus 1/2" leave at room temperature 3 days, check occasionally and ensure covered with vinegar plus 1/4". pour into beaker for use of a hand-blender. Add 2tbsp horseradish powder, 2tbsp coleman's mustard powder, 1tsp salt, juice of 1/2 lemon. Use hand blender until no whole seeds left and all looks combined. Add cider vinegar or mustard powder+ horseradish powder to get desired consistency. Seeds will give a speckled effect. Bottle and allow to cure in fridge for 3 days before using. Want to be different? Try this one with a seared tuna steak. Regrets to the original poster this has no reference to canning. Given the medium of cider vinegar (I use 5-8% acetic acid) and lemon juice. If the jars are sterilised does anyone have a qualified opinion on shelf-life?...See MoreGarlic Mustard - recipes

Comments (6)The several mustards I have in my refrig don't contain MAS or any of the "hydrolized vegetable proteins" that can be a euphemism for MSG. But I don't have French's or Guildens...I have imported Australian mustard and maille etc. French's yellow is heavy on tumeric and short on mustard. If I were in your position I would make some home made mayonaise ( unless comercial mayo doesn't bother him) and add some Coleman's dry mustard and tumeric to taste. For a grainy mustard, get some brown mustard seeds and grind them....mix with a teaspoon of water to make a paste and add to mayo. You can make your own emulsions with ground mustard seeds and oil and vinegar but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble. I suggest you try other kinds of mustards....read the labels to find one without "natural flavors". Linda C...See More- 7 years ago
