G'Day ClayArtists,
Several people have asked for my Mustard Recipe and so instead of a =
reply to each one I have sent it via CLAYART, I know I have done the =
wrong thing but perhaps just this once it is OK.

So here it is.

Croc's Ordinary Mustard.

1/2 cup of Mustard Seeds [Black Variety] pass through a grinding mill or =
crush till very fine.
2 Teaspoons of coarse Ground Black Pepper Corns.
Mix the two together then add enough tepid [blood temperature] spring =
water to make a thick paste. Cover and leave to stand for 10 to 15 =
minutes for the enzymes to start working. You will soon notice the =
Mustard Aroma.
1 Teaspoon of salt, sprinkle evenly over the surface then thoroughly mix =
in.
Let it stand for 5 minutes then sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of canola =
or=20
grape-seed oil then mix thoroughly. I prefer Grapeseed Oil.
A small quantity of a good Dry White Wine Vinegar then mix again.
Then keep adding the Vinegar to make a paste. Don't make it too thick as =
it will thicken over time.
Spoon into a pot or jar and leave for a minimum of 24 hours to mature.=20
It becomes hotter with aging.
It's "used-by" is about 9 months.

For a slightly different taste add 3 teaspoons of Horse Radish.

Kind regards to you all,

Brian C {Croc} in South Australia.

considering the amount of peppercorns, I'd say high fire, especially if you
go with the horseradish option. ;)
