The best mustard

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup mustard powder
• 2 tsp. brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 cup brine
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup mustard seeds

Preparation:

1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the mustard powder, brown sugar, salt, turmeric, paprika, and garlic powder. In a separate container, combine the brine, water, and apple cider vinegar and set aside.
   
   Place the mustard seeds in a spice grinder and grind for at least a minute, stopping occasionally. Once the seeds are ground, immediately add the mustard to the bowl with the dry ingredients and pour in the liquids. Whisk.
2. Microwave the bowl on high for one minute. Remove the mustard from the microwave and puree with an immersion blender for another minute. Transfer to a glass jar or container and let cool, covered. Once cooled, seal and refrigerate for up to 1 month.
