Scotch Whisky Mustard

Mustard puts a bit of heat and spice into all sorts of things from your traditional Christmas baked ham to grilled cheese sandwiches and my Highlander Mustard is no exception.

With a wee dash of whisky it will add that bit of Scottish style to your foodie gifts this Christmas.

If you have never thought about making your own mustard before fear not it is extremely easy and once you’ve got the hang of it you won’t be buyuing those ready made jars in the supermarket ever again.

What is mustard?

Did you know that mustard goes way back to Roman times. They would mix unfermented grape juice (called must) with ground seeds called sinapis (mustard seeds) and would call the condiment mustum ardens which translates as burning must.

Over the years has come to be known as mustard. How’s that for a history lesson!

Anyways back to my Highlander Whisky Mustard which I wrote for my book A Wee Taste Of Scotland which is packed with Scottish themed party food ideas (the perfect prezzie for foodie friends who like holding parties!).

All you need for this recipe is mustard seeds (available from supermarkets and health food shops), chilli flakes, cider vinegar, whisky (of course, this is a Scottish recipe and it would be rude not to!), grated nutmeg and runny honey plus water and a wee pinch of sea salt.

It’s a no-cook recipe!

There is no actual cooking involved which is great, it is a mix and wait overnight recipe then add the other ingredients and spoon into sterilised jars sort of thing. More kitchen crafting than cooking. Label your jars and your Highlander Mustard is all ready to pack into your Christmas hampers.
