Found a great price on banana peppers at a local produce market, so I decided to give this a try and use as give-aways to friends and family. As recommended by another reviewer, I added a couple red mini bell peppers which gave the mustard just a bit of color (with no effect on flavor). I bought the inexpensive store brand of mustard which made this even more affordable. Made half a recipe, used 4-oz canning jars, and ended up with a lot of nice little homemade gifts. This will be a nice change from the traditional jams and preserves that we all give away so often. This should be absolutely delicious with one of the soft pretzel recipes on AR. UPDATE 4.12.12 Mixed this into some sour cream and served over freshly-steamed asparagus last night, and it was delicious. Also, mixed some of the mustard into mayonnaise for a really nice potato salad dressing.

I used 2.5 cups of white and 2.5 cups of brown sugar. I also used 6 Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper) because I wanted it with a lot more kick - everyone raves about this mustard!

My flour clumped really bad. I followed instructions. ???? It happened to my neighbor also. It was still really good. I love dipping hot soft pretzels into it.

Absolutely fabulous flavor..Perfect EXCEPT for adding flour. Had read previous reviews so tried to mix flour and water first time...Still got clumps. Second time I sifted flour....much better. The flour clumps are ONLY reason it's not a "5".

I'm on my second batch this week......The first batch went so fast I don't know what happened. I'm doubling the next batch, processing it in half-pint jars then decorating the jars and giving it to our "adult" trick-or-treaters!

The first batch my wonderful husband and me made was going good until we added the flour/water, which turned into dumplings. The second time we mixed the flour with cold water and slowly added it as he vigorously wisked it for me. The second batch we also substituted some brown sugar for white. It turned out great.

The flavor of this mustard was excellent! I followed the recipe as shown, but had a problem when it came to mixing the flour and water. 1 and 1-2 cups of flour mixed with 1 cup of water created a dumpling-type thick drop batter and when I added this mixture to the boiling banana pepper mixture, it created lots of dumplings. I checked the recipe to make sure I had added the correct amount of flour and water, and I did, so I was disappointed. I tried to fish all the dumplings out before I put it in jars. I will try it again with less flour and and see what happens.

Thank you for this wonderful recipe! I bought what I thought was a yellow bell pepper plant, or at least that's what it said it was, and it turned out to be banana peppers and I had no idea what I was going to do with them! This mustard turned out perfect! It did get lumpy as I think I had too much flour but I threw it in my mom's old Hamilton beach blender right off the stove, just before I canned and processed it and it turned out smooth and yummy just like professional mustard. Thanks!
