Staff Answer

If you have stone ground mustard, this would make a good substitute. Another idea for a substitute would be to use yellow mustard and make it up with a small dash of either wasabi or horseradish, to give it a little spicy kick. Or, make your own following the steps in the recipes above.

Question

Why is the mix boiled in the first recipe but not in the second?

Community Answer

Different recipes are different. If you prefer a little bit of a bitter taste, boil it, but if you want it sweet, don't boil it.
