So, here it is! Now, it isn't all 'pretty yellow' like what you see in the store! Why is that? Because it is all natural and doesn't have the turmeric in it!! If you want it to be the yellow, you can add a tsp of turmeric to it when you make it and it will give it that yellow color. I just can't use it myself. Happy Canning!!

1 cup dry ground mustard (mustard flour)
1 cup water
¾ cup white distilled vinegar
1 ½ tsp salt
½ tsp red pepper
2 teaspoon Clear Jel
1 Combine all ingredients except Clear
Jel in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until smooth.
2 When mixture comes to a boil, reduce
heat and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring often.
3 Whisk Clear Jel into pan and boil 1
more minute.
4 Remove pan from heat. Leave
uncovered for 1 minute, then cover pan with a lid until cool. Pour into prepared
jars and water bath for 10 minutes.
Makes 4 quarter pints
How would you cut this recipe? It would take us 10 years to go through 4 jars.
ReplyDeleteThese are really, really SMALL jars! They are only 4 oz each so total is only 16 oz. You could cut it in half so it would be 1/2 cup mustard, 1/2 cup water, 3/8 cup vinegar (use 1/4 cup and then 1/2 of that), 3/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp red pepper and 1 tsp clear jel. I wouldn't cut it any more than that. That would give you 8 oz which is the size of one pint jar (about the size of a regular mustard jar). They do last a full year on the shelf as well!! Enjoy!!
ReplyDelete8oz is even smaller. It's a half pint.
ReplyDeleteCorrect, so you could get two 4oz jars or one 8 oz jar if you cut it in half. My point is that at a half recipe it is the size of a standard jar of mustard that you get at the store. I just use the small jars for convenience sake.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try this! i can't do peppers, but i can do turmeric just fine.
ReplyDeleteMade it, love it, shared the recipe with my friend! thanks so much!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you love it!! It's one of my favorites and I'm so glad I was able to 'figure out' how to make it a 'safe' canning recipe!! Enjoy!!
DeleteI'm making a quadruple batch right now! I went through a double batch in about 2-3 months! I've never been a huge mustard fan, but I have been using this stuff like crazy! Thank you!
