Recipestravel From time to time I hear about people making ketchup at home. Ho hum. How many people attempt to make their own mustard? Well I just did and it was a revelation. Before you start, know that this is not a money saving idea. You cannot make a decent mustard for less than you can buy it. But that's not really the point, is it?

Cool, strain, and
