Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet and Spicy Mardi Gras Mustard
- Begin by combining equal parts yellow and brown mustard seeds in a bowl with enough water and apple cider vinegar to cover them completely. Let the mixture soak for 12 to 24 hours at room temperature.
- While your seeds are soaking, take a separate bowl and mix together paprika, cayenne pepper, turmeric, and salt. Set this blend aside.
- After the soaking period, transfer the softened mustard seeds along with any remaining soaking liquid into a medium saucepan. Stir in your prepared spice blend and your choice of sweetener. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly for about 10 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes. Then, using a blender or immersion blender, blend to your desired texture.
- Allow your mustard to cool completely to room temperature. Transfer it into an airtight jar or container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4-6 weeks.

Notes
Store your mustard in an airtight container in the fridge for optimal freshness. The flavors deepen over time, so allow it to rest for a day or two before using.
