My shirt is not yellow!

I just made a batch of mustard, so this is an accomplishment. I'd never made Nana's mustard before, my sister always helps out, but my taste so far seems right on target. (Even though for some reason I decided to use brown sugar instead of normal sugar.)

It's quick and easy, so I'm including the recipe for anyone adventurous enough to try it. It has a bit of a kick, so not recommended if you don't like a bit of spice.

Nana's Sweet-Sour Mustard

Mix: 1/4 c. ground mustard
1/4 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. flour
Dash of salt

Heat to boiling (I just microwaved it): About 1/3 c. brown vinegar

Stir in enough vinegar into dry ingredients to right consistency.

Add: 1/2 tsp. ground turmeric

Let season one day to develop flavor.

Note: Turmeric is a strong yellow dye, so be careful about getting it on your clothes.
