Try to get all the shafts out of the seeds.  |
I didn't have enough seeds so I added some yellow seeds I had for canning and some dry powder mustard.  |
|
Add equal parts Apple Cider Vinegar and water.  |
Cover and let set for 3 days. The seeds will puff up and even start to ferment. The smell is, whew pungent.  |
|
I had to open a window and turn on a fan.  |
Rinse off the seeds.  |
|
Place in a blender with a bit of the liquid. I used a Tablespoon at a time.  |
I did have to transfer the mixture to a smaller blender.  |
|
 |
I finally got the consistency I wanted. The flavor is amazing, fresh and very delicious.  |
|
After something like mustard we need something sweet. I had 2 bananas that were getting over ripe so Mr. M. got a streusel banana bread.  |
This AM I treated myself to a cup of coffee.  |

I'm trying to get my leaning towers of sunflower plants to lean on some shepherd crooks, but the wind and rain do interfere with that plan. I rarely use mustard; this process is fascinating! The banana bread looks delicious. Happy T Tuesday!
Making your own mustard seems amazing. You didn't show what food you used it on. A hot dog? A French-type steak (which they always eat with mustard)?

I bet the mustard is delicious!
Looks like you will be able to save the sunflowers. They are lovely. I was really enthralled reading about how you made mustard. You put a lot of time and effort into it. I bet it tastes SO much better than anything sold in the stores. I can only imagine how pungent the scent was when it was fermenting. Of course, I like the looks of Mr. M's banana bread looks wonderful, too. Yum indeed. And I was surprised you were drinking coffee. Good for you.
Thanks for sharing your process of making mustard, the banana bread, and your coffee with us for T this Tuesday, dear Nicole.
Good to see how you make mustard. Hope you enjoyed your coffee! Happy T Day, Valerie
How beautiful are those sunflowers Nicole. I hope they are not broken by the wind.
Happy T-day! Thank you very much for the mustard recipe, I had never thought about making mustard, but I still cheer up and follow your recipe with every detail.
I wish you a very nice Wednesday, stay safe, and big hugss

Oh my, what a fabulous post! Those sunflowers look so pretty, I love the colours 😀. Your mustard looks so good, it would taste so delicious with some soft pretzels - yum! Wishing you a very happy T Day! Hugs Jo x
...a labor of love!
We get wicked wind here, too. Hope the lovely sunflowers will be okay.
You are brave in the kitchen. :)
Wow, mustard, I've never ever thought of making that. Bet it tastes much better than bought stuff.
Your mustard looks very good :)
All the best Jan
My gardens are starting to look a little tired from the heat. Sadly. Too bad about your sunflower-hope you got it retied. And thanks for the mustard instructions and inspiration. I am going to plant some next year. Enjoy that banana bread. Hope it was a nice T day. hugs-Erika
Loved seeing your process! I love mustard and sweet breads.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
Glad your flowers didn't get totally destroyed!
Love the mustard adventure, but the banana streusel steals the show! Wish I had some warm with butter right now.
Very cool post and happy T-day!
Good job on the mustard. Sorry about the sunflowers.
Sad about the sunflowers, hope they make it.
Hmmmmm, would love to taste your mustard. Sounds like a rewarding job.
Your sunflowers are impressive. I'm sure they will survive with a bit of tying up. This autumn sunflower seeds?
Very interesting to see how you make mustard. My hubby loves mustard and i can't stand the stuff...
I also make banana bread when our bananas are over-ripe. I often add walnuts and sometimes spices.
Happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
I have never even considered making mustard, but it sounds interesting! I might give it a try.
Both projects look delicious, and your sunflower is beautiful! Enjoy your week ~
Your sunflowers are divine, Nicole! 🧡💛
So is the banana bread, yum! 😛👅
Your sunflowers still look pretty. I enjoyed watching you make mustard though I'm a lazy cook. I bet it tastes really delicious. And I wouldn't mind a slab or two of the banana bread. Happy T Day
Boa tarde Nicole. Aqui no Rio de Janeiro está muito quente e tempo que não temos chuva ou vento. Espero que seu jardim se recupere e parabéns pela receita.
First, we live in Kansas and it is really windy here most of the time, too. And our state flower in the sunflower. Sorry, the wind got it. I would love to visit the Oregon coast. Secondly, I am so impressed you made your own mustard. We are lovers of mustard, especially spiced mustard, and have a difficult time finding what we like in the stores, not Dejon. Have a great rest of the week, since t day is over... Hugs!
We had quite a bit of wind (thanks to Hurricane Henri) in New York City, too. I grow my sunflowers in pots, so I took the overprotective way out and brought them inside. Most of my neighbor's sunflowers lost their heads.
Your mustard looks so pretty. Love the process. Also, I am now craving banana bread and coffee (at 9mp!).
Fabulous post
You are so creative even with food ~ mustard ~ and banana bread ~ delish! Xo

wow, I would have loved tasting that one. I am sure I would have loved your mustard :)
prob tastes great but too much work for me lol
Your sunflowers look very pretty, so glad they weren't destroyed by the wind.
The mustard looks good, although I'm not a fan. I think I would enjoy your banana bread though Nicole.
Happy new week.
