Steps:

• In a glass or pottery bowl, blend the mustard seed, mustard powder and water.

• Add the remaining ingredients, then store in the refrigerator, covered, for 48 hours.
• The mustard will seem watery at first but will'set'.
• Do not jar the mustard for at least 2 days, to let the consistency stabilize.

ENGLISH MUSTARD FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• In a non-reactive container, combine mustard seeds with beer and vinegar. Let sit 48 hours. Check periodically to make sure seeds are covered by liquid; add more if necessary.
• Transfer seeds and liquid to a food processor. Add remaining ingredients. Process until creamy, four to six minutes.
• Transfer to jars. Allow mustard to mature, 3 to 4 weeks, before serving.
• Note: You can vary the mustards flavor by substituting your favorite ingredients, the basic technique remains the same.

ENGLISH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the mustard in a mixing bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer.
• Add the mayonnaise and beat for 1 minute.
• Add the Worcestershire sauce, HP sauce, cream, and a pinch of salt and beat until the mixture is well blended and creamy.
• If you'd like a little more mustardy bite, whisk in about 1/2 teaspoon more dry mustard until well blended.
• Chill the sauce, covered, until serving.

BASIC MUSTARD MASH

Steps:

• Tip the potatoes into a large saucepan, cover with boiling water and boil for 20 mins or until soft. Drain the potatoes in a colander and leave to steam-dry for a few moments before putting them back in the pan. Add the butter, milk and mustard, season well, then mash thoroughly until creamy. Cover to keep warm until serving.

ENGLISH MUSTARD

Steps:

• Toast the mustard seeds in a small dry pan (I use a cast iron pan) over medium heat, shaking occasionally, until the seeds start to pop. Remove from heat and tip the seeds into a mortar and pestle and crush them a few times. (If you don't have a mortar and pestle, tip them into a bowl and use the back of a spoon to crush them).
• In a glass or pottery bowl, blend the crushed mustard seeds, mustard powder and water thoroughly and let stand for 20 minutes. (You can drink the remaining beer while you're waiting!).
• Add the cayenne pepper, tumeric powder and salt. Stir to combine, then add the honey, vinegar and beer.
• If the mixture seems too thin, add up to one more tablespoon of mustard powder to help thicken it.
• Pour mustard into a small jar, cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 days before using to let the flavors combine.
• Enjoy!

ENGLISH MUSTARD

Steps:

• Put the mustard seeds in an electric grinder and grind to a fine powder. Transfer to a bowl and sift in the flour and the salt. Mix together well. Gradually beat in the beer to make a smooth paste.
• Spoon the mustard into sterilized jars. Seal the jars and label. Keep in a cool dark place for 2 weeks before using to allow the flavours to develop.
