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.

How yummy, and the color is so beautiful!

Yes, I absolutely love the color of this curd!
I love fruit curds. This combination sounds wonderful. I’ve been wanting to make passionfruit curd for a long time. Hopefully I will get to that soon.

The passionfruit curd is definitely my favorite of all time. It’s just such a unique flavor.
I love lemon curd on a good fruit quickbread. I once made lemon loaf with lemon curd and it was to DIE for. How long to curds typically keep in the fridge?

Oohhh… double lemon – sounds delicious. They never stay around very long when I make them, but I think they’d be fine in the fridge for a week or two.
this sounds delicious! I’ve got some key lime curd in my fridge, not sure what I’ll do with the last bit of it…

Key lime curd – YUM! Did you juice them yourself? They’re so tiny.
I love the idea of a blackberry lime curd… two of my favorite flavors married into curd! I love meyer lemon curd, too 🙂

I still haven’t been able to find meyer lemons at my store. Of course, I haven’t looked too hard either…
This looks delicious! And I love anything that gives me a use for egg yolks, since I use whites so often.

I’m the same way. I hoard recipes that take divided eggs. Now that I started making ice cream, I need more that use whites…
If you make a cake or something with the curd in it or on it does it need to be refrigerated?

I used this curd in a cake: http://www.beantownbaker.com/2013/03/coconut-almond-cake-with-blackberry-lime-curd-filling.html and the leftovers were stored in the fridge.
This looks amazing, but I was wondering how much it made, I have picked enough blackberries to make 3 times this. Xx

It made probably 2.5-3 cups of curd. Hope you enjoy it!
