Apple Mustard

That's right. Apple mustard!

Thanks to my homework due tomorrow, I didn't have enough time to cook a full meal tonight. So instead I decided to make up some mustard. Since I have a few apples sitting in my fruit basket that are bruising faster then I can eat, I decided to try an experiment.

Not a recipe... just some guidelines

Peel and slice an apple, and boil in a sauce pan with a spoon full of brown sugar. Reduce to thicken.

Combine 1 part mustard power, 1 part flour, 1 part vinegar

add 5~6 parts apple syrup

slowly add oil while beating with an egg beater until it thickens

add 1~2 pinches of salt

So how does it taste??? Well it's mild, which is what I was going for, but a little too mild I think. The recipe needs some fine tuning for sure. I was thinking cinnamon, but that may be too much. Mustard is a condiment after all and shouldn't steal the show.

Garlic salt? Onion salt?? I think something like that is more appropriate. I'm going to let it sit overnight to see how the flavor develops. You can't quite trust the taste of fresh mustard. So maybe tomorrow night I'll have some more insight into what it needs.
