Home-made Honey & Lemon Mustard! Supermarkets, suck it!

Not only home "made", but home made from the seeds I grew myself.

I harvested it finally the afternoon: been watching the pods waiting for thr majority to dry out, and today they looked as though leaving any longer would mean having the sucker drop half her seeds back onto the garden.

First/Left photo: Before even grinding the seeds to begin with, I took about a teaspoon of seeds for the generation two planting..

Right/Second photo: Honey & Lemon mustard - slightly hot at the moment, but meant to mellow with time and it's not exactly scorching anyhow.

Only ingredients are Mustard seeds straight from the pods, Honey, White Vinegar, Lemon juice and Salt ;)

Apparently it's meant to be left to marinate at least 12 hours but gets better with age, though, considering there's only around half a cup, there's not really enough for it to make it to old-age, But I'll test-drive it on a xmas ham sandwich later 8)

Tasted outstanding by the way ;) all gone now.

but I've got some next-gen seeds germing. This time I wanna try making mustard with the leaves of the plant, since theiy're quite hot and mustardy, and much more .. Plentiful than the seeds. Though I'll also plant at least four plants for this year so I have enough seeds for a full jar :D
 
Tasted mm sweet and sour at first. Like mustard with honey in it, for lack of a more precise descriptor, then after a second or two when it's reached the rest of your mouth it warms up smooth and fast (approx Halepono(sp?) pepper heat) then tapers-out over about 5 seconds.

Wish i had've had a few plants though: I could've made a whole jar and I'd still have some. The only plant i had was one that I kept flowering for novelties sake. The leaves were pretty fibrous-tasting once they're a few weeks old so I just ignored it for throughout vege, then started feeding flowering nutrients to see how it went.

As it was I ended-up with about 1/3 cup in excellent honey-mustard but next time I'll do 4-6 plants.
