Mustard is one of those things that I’ve been meaning to make forever, but I just haven’t gotten around to it. When I saw mustard seeds on special I grabbed a few packs and I’ve been experimenting. Usually I like a quite mild dijon mustard, so it’s interesting to see what I’ll be able to do with seeds, or whether I need mustard powder instead. I think that packaged up in little jars and labelled these will make excellent Christmas gifts.

And the final products. I did say that this was an experiment. My favourite is definitely recipe #1, then #2. #3 seems to be missing something for me. It’s not bad, maybe a bit bland.
