Spicy Guinness Mustard
I mentioned a couple weeks ago about how I’m on a big homemade condiment kick recently. Well, the phase has not passed yet. I actually don’t like spicy mustard, classic yellow for me please, but I knew Hubby would enjoy this so I gave it a shot.
Hubby has been raving about this mustard since the second he tried it. He tells everyone who comes over to try some. I guess that means it’s pretty good. I tasted a little bit and it’s just too spicy for me (but I’m a huge wimp when it comes to spice). Hubby has been eating this on sausages, with pretzels, and spread on sandwiches.
I loved how simple this was to throw together. It takes no time at all. And this Spicy Guinness Mustard makes a great gift. We gave a jar to Hubby’s mom and there was still more than enough left for Hubby to enjoy on his own. This recipe does make a large batch of mustard. Feel free to cut it in half if you don’t need that much.

Spicy Guinness Mustard
Yield: 3 1/2 cups
Ingredients:
1 bottle (11.2 oz) Guinness Extra Stout
4 oz brown mustard seeds
4 oz yellow mustard seeds
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp kosher salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1⁄4 tsp ground cinnamon
1⁄4 tsp ground cloves
1⁄4 tsp ground nutmeg
1⁄4 tsp ground allspice
Directions:
Combine ingredients in a nonreactive mixing bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 1–2 days so that the mustard seeds soften and the flavors meld.
Transfer the mixture to the bowl of a food processor and process, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, until the seeds are coarsely ground and the mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a jar and cover.
Refrigerate overnight and use immediately or refrigerate or up to 6 months.

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Very neat idea! I may have to try this out, since our house is filled with empty walls at the moment.
Aww this is such a cute idea! I’m not married yet, but when I am, I might consider it… It’s so classy-looking too 🙂

Love the idea and had to send it to my husband. You are so creative – what an excellent job putting it together! Thank you for posting.
What a great idea! Such a fun experience for you both to share! I’ve always wanted to make a map like this and you just gave me the motivation to do it 🙂 I love the map you used!
i made one of these for hubby for our first Christmas together. unfortunately we haven’t had as many opportunities as we hoped to travel so ours looks sad with the lackage of pins 🙂
I love this idea and it’s something we want to do too. Thanks for the motivation! Oh and we’ve been married 5 years so ours will be a not-so-newlywed map too. 😉

Love this idea! Thanks for sharing, I really want to do this!
That’s so crazy…I was just thinking about doing something like this the other day. I guess that means that I need to get on it. Thanks for the idea!
LOVE THIS! Ordering my map NOW!
Is this map only for heterosexual couples? haha j/k. You just wrote hubby (I guess you’re assuming all of your readers are females and are straight), and I was taken aback. This would be great for whenever my future wife and I get married. Thanks for sharing! It really is a cool idea!
Memória – I hope I didn’t offend you. I wasn’t making any assumptions about my readers. I was just speaking the way I talk. This map could be perfect for anyone or any group of people.
I looove this idea! I’m going to do it, even though I’m not married 🙂
