Guinness and Chili-Garlic Mustard / MUST TRY

I cook for myself and my boyfriend, and sometimes small family gatherings. I tend to improvise often but am trying to be more controlled and organized to get consistent results with recipes.

⅔ C Black or brown mustard seeds (black is spicier).

⅔ C Guinness Stout at room temperature

⅔ Cup Cider Vinegar

6 Allspice berries

½ teaspoon (or until the color looks right) Ground Turmeric

2 Tablespoons Huy Fong Chili Garlic Sauce (rooster on label)

1 (approx) T Sugar

subheading: Where to buy the ingredients:

Spices can be insanely expensive if you buy them in the wrong place.

This recipe, for example, requires dried allspice berries. They’re almost impossible to find in any of the major grocery stores near me, and were extremely expensive in the places that did carry them. However just by chance, I tried Price-Rite and they had a half ounce package for less than $2, which is enough to keep me in mustard for at least a year. They seem to be less expensive and easier to find in grocery stores with a lot of Caribbean customers. This recipe, for example, requires dried allspice berries.

Mustard seeds are another one. They’re $8 for a little jar in Price Chopper, but $2 for a 14 ounce bag in the Asian and Indian markets.

I was unable to find similar savings on the Guinness, however.
