For the month of December Jenni from The Gingered Whisk challenged us to make our own condiments. Ketchup, Mayo, hot sauce… nothing is too challenging for the daring cooks.
Ah condiments! Growing up in Italy, I never really used/ate any of them, apart from Mayo and Ketchup. They are not really part of Italian cuisine, but I love them. I particularly like Mustard and I remember always eating my Bratwurst with it, whenever we visited Germany. So, for this challenge I HAD to try my hands at home-made Mustard. You won’t believe how easy it is and now that I know it, I will be experimenting with different flavours and textures! I obviously served it with hot dogs and it was a success. At the end of the post, you will also find photos and links to all the other home-made condiment recipes I already have on the site, including Ketchup, Mayo, Aioli, Roasted Strawberry Barbecue Sauce and Passion fruit Béarnaise Sauce.
