Well, all, about mustard, since this thread has been on for a bit, I
have a mustard recipe, given to me thirty years ago by a German family,
whom I knew very well, and we have modified it(of course)by adding
Calvin's chile powder to it...if you wished to add a red savina powder
instead, that would work equally well. Here, then, it is: Sweet, Hot
Mustard a la Doug.
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup dry Mustard, Keens or similar
1 tbls flour
1/4 tsp turmeric
1 tsp Calvin's or whatever GOOD hot chile powder takes your fancy
1 tsp olive oil
2 eggs
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup water
2 tbls dry sherry
Beat first seven ingredients in a medium saucepan, until smooth, then
stir in the vinegar and water, then stir over medium heat, until thick.
Do not let the eggs scramble, in other words, keep stirring, and keep
the heat low, in necessary, or do this over boiling water, if not
accustomed to making a good thick egg sauce. Before pouring into an 8 oz
jar, add 2 tbls dry sherry and mix in, or do this when the mustard is
fairly cool, before putting into a jar...you want to retain the alcohol
in the sherry.
Once again, note that there is no salt, add your own if desired, but
taste it first. This mustard is best about three weeks later, and will
keep in the fridge almost indefinately....if it lasts! Cheers, Doug in BC
