Happy National Mustard Day!

6 August 2011 by local kitchen

I know: it’s ridiculous, isn’t it? Yes, folks, raise up your smartphones and sway with me: mustard is in the hizzouse. Today is National Mustard Day, celebrated (apparently) on the first Saturday of August each year. (Who said that August doesn’t have any holidays?) There is even a mustard museum, in Wisconsin, where National Mustard Day (the kids call it NMD, yo) is obviously big doins. Big enough for live accordion music from the Poupon U band, free hot dogs, something called […]

Can Jam: Raisin D’Être Mustard

6 December 2010 by local kitchen

Well, here it is, the last Tigress’ Can Jam post of 2010. How the year has flown! It seems only yesterday that I was mulling citrus options, looking forward to hundreds of new recipes, and meeting all sorts of new friends. Before we dive into the details of this month’s ingredient, dried fruit (selected by the Tigress herself), let’s take a little walk down Memory Lane, shall we? Januray, citrus: Lime Curd for Water Bath Canning and Blackberry Lime Jam February, carrots: […]

Habanero Lime Chipotle Mustard

11 November 2010 by local kitchen

It’s that time of year again: while preserving the bounty of Fall continues (apples, quince, and pumpkins galore), the urgency has ramped down a notch and I have time to focus on replenishing Tai’s mustard supply. This batch started out as my standard habanero recipe, except I swapped tequila for vodka. As I was reducing it in the saucepan, that tequila must have been on my mind, because at the last minue I tossed in some lime juice and a […]

Mission Fig and Port Wine Mustard

3 December 2009 by local kitchen

Seems like it’s been All Mustard All the Time around here lately, but I have had all of these interesting mustard ideas floating around in my head and I want to try to them out before they disappear. And yes, I do realize that it’s more than a bit strange to be obsessing over mustard flavors when, a) I don’t like mustard and, b) I don’t eat mustard. But other people do, including my mustardophile husband, and a pretty little jar of […]

Cranberry Habanero Mustard

28 January 2009 by local kitchen

Cranberries & habanero peppers: two of my favorite things. It’s so unfortunate that I really loathe mustard, because this condiment would be right up my alley: spicy, gingery, puckery, gorgeously pink-hued. Alas, the mustard and I, we just don’t get along. The husband, though, is a mustard-loving fool (hence the plethora of Evil Seed recipes herein), as are many other people: homemade mustard is a gift that never fails to impress, yet is simple & thrifty to make. As one […]
