What condiment is used in almost every culture around the world and is crafted from a simple seed? Mustard! I'm a self-professed mustard nerd, with a mustard line that was sold nation-wide at Whole Foods and Williams-Sonoma. And it's amazing how fun and easy making homemade mustard can be! I look forward to sharing my passion for preservation with you, as we make our own mustard together.
In this class you'll learn the simple steps of homemade mustard, from sourcing ingredients and cooking, to storing your finished product. We'll also cover the tools and tricks of preservation and fermentation, such as safety and shelf-life, as well as various methods and canning history. You'll also get a recipe and tips as we make mustard together during class.
