Wow, Hot & Spicy Mustard

[Sylvia]

There has to be a male in your family who says "never hot enough for me?" perhaps it's just young Scots men - OK!

This is a great condiment for use with so many dishes. You can add ingredients, for instance I did chop up a cornichon - loved it, but some people don't like certain ingredients, so just do your thing with this one!

Wow, Hot & Spicy Mustard

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 (9-ounce) container prepared yellow mustard (try to find English, French will do, but it's a bit insipid)
2 plump cloves of garlic, minced. Not pureed.
1/4 teaspoon allspice

Combine all ingredients. Refrigerate in airtight container for at least two days to let flavours blend. Store in small jelly jars. Serve with ham, sausages, add a tsp to your gravies for a little bit of a kick.

PS: Oooh forgot to mention my DH detests mustards!!! Can't have mustard in his food!

Hi Sylvia,

It has been soooo long since I had the chance to log in. I came here first and had to laugh when I read this about young Scots men and the phrase "never hot enough for me". I hear something to this effect from my spouse all the time. I can't make a tomatoe salsa hot enough for him. I always thought this might be because he is Native American and Scots. I blamed the indian blood in him:). But after reading this, maybe I was wrong. Maybe it is the Scots blood manifesting LOL. By the way I love different kinds of mustard and homemade mustard recipes so I will be trying this one. Thanks for sharing.

Hi bshem_yshua,

Nice to hear from you.

Sounds to me that your DH's Scottish blood is coming to the fore. My sons and even my 11 year old grandson won't have pork sausages or bacon if there's no mustard.
