Have you ever made homemade mustard? Have you ever even thought about making homemade mustard?

Well not only did I think about it, I did it, and now you’re probably thinking about it too. You’re welcome.

Because seriously? It’s so easy you’ll be shocked.

The idea for the fruit mustard came from a dinner in New Orleans, where Taylor ordered a charcuterie plate that came with an adorable little tube of strawberry mustard. Since we wanted to make a homemade mustard anyway (the reason will reveal itself later this week), and peaches just so happened to be in their prime, we thought they’d make a wonderful addition to the spicy homemade mustard. Sure, you can leave out the peach and have a nice basic mustard to adorn your ‘whiches and dogs, but the peach makes this mustard unique, adding just a hint of fruitiness and sweetness to the final product. Unlike my peach jams where the goal was to make it primarily peach, this is most definitely a mustard first and foremost. The burning you’ll feel under your eyelids if you eat some plain will leave no doubt of that.

Think of the peach as just a little something extra. :)

Don’t be fooled by the peach, however. This is a SPICY mustard. Seriously spicy. To tone it down you’re going to need a nice soft slab of white bread. And some cool and crunchy pickles. And some salty cured meat.

But I’m getting ahead of myself. Mustard now. Accoutrements coming later.
