This came out of the localkitchenblog.com I wanted to make habenero mustard, but with reduced sugar, this called for 1/2 cup honey. It is hot, but suprisingly, not so hot I can't handle it. I used beer instead of the vodka they suggested, also had to add more beer about 1/2 cup.

    Next morning check to see if the seeds need more liquid, I had to add about 1/2 cup more beer, use your own judgement. Halve and seed the hananero's I put the seeds seperate because that is where the heat is, and it is easier to add if you need to. Please wear gloves!

    Using a food processor put your mustard seeds and vinegar in, and pulse. Add one pepper and some seeds at a time until you have the degree of heat you like. Process seeds, vinegar and habeneros until you have a grainey texture.
