I've not had good luck in finding a "sweet" hot mustard ... most taste like mustard on honey nut cheerios - way too sweet. Thanks for the post.

Like I said, it was "deliciously hot." The sweetness was obtained via the rice vinegar. Though, again, I was surprised no extra was required. A good and very simple recipe, if I do say so myself. You really think that neon stuff gets its color from healthy turmeric?! Somehow, I kinda doubt it. ;) No, no, not stale.

I like that yellow stuff, it's an outstanding source of heart healthy curcurmin (i.e. turmeric)!! '-) And might I (quite rudely?) ask if your preground mustard powder was stale? Thus, no sweetener needed? All that aside, when I make my own hot mustard I use about 1/4 cup yellow mustard seed, 2-3 tbls black mustard seed, those get coarse powdered in a coffee grinder then mixed with about 1/2cup water for about 10 minutes (or until my eyes water), then enough vinegar to almost get the texture I want along with a dash of salt&pepper, a shot of tabasco and a couple of tbls of dark agave nectar (since I'm bee product free). Let it sit a day or two, top off the vinegar to get the consistency right et voila! spicy mustard without turmeric. Wanna yellow ballpark type recipe also? ;-) HEY!
