Chronicles of a Mustard Jar
Growing up, we had a porcelain mustard pot shaped like a peasant woman wearing a babushka-style handkerchief on her head. The figurine had a perpetually sour expression, and I always thought it was because the mustard inside was spicy and pungent, making her grimace.
The pot was almost always full, and it came in handy on those rare occasions when we had hot dogs or sausages. That mustard had a magical way of instantly elevating that dish into a proper meal, without it, I wouldn’t have even touched a hot dog.
This little old lady figurine made the journey across the Atlantic with me and has since become the star vessel for our mustard.
Now, I realize her sour face is simply the artist’s creative expression—unchanging and here to stay. Take a look and judge for yourself.

How to Make Spicy Mustard
Step 1: Re-hydrating the mustard powder
Transfer the mustard powder into a bowl. Gradually add lukewarm water and whisk until you reach a consistency of sour cream.
Add boiling water and set aside. Don’t worry about the excess of water; we are not going to use the whole thing. The boiling water is going to remove some of the bitterness from the mustard.
Step 2: Making the mustard
Loosely cover the bowl and leave the mixture overnight or for at least 8-hours to bloom.
Slowly pour out the extra water, make sure the mustard sediment stays in the bowl.
Add salt, vinegar, and oil, mix all to combine. Transfer into a jar and seal. The spicy mustard is ready to use.
