For the Spicy Mustard Lovers out there! This Hot Jalapeño Mustard packs a punch! Great on Burgers or Hot Dogs.
Here’s a nice Hot Jalapeño Mustard that you can use on your burgers, corn dogs, hot dogs or just about anything else you can think of.
A good friend of mine likes to put this Jalapeño Mustard on her eggs! It sounded crazy when she first told me but once I tried it, I agreed!
As with all of my recipes that contain hot peppers – in this case, Jalapeños, you can control how spicy this mustard is by using more or fewer Jalapeños.
I always recommend wearing disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers. Avoid touching your face.
If spicy mustard is just not your thing, I have a delicious Sweet Mustard recipe you can try. Awesome on Corndogs!
How to Handle Hot Peppers
- The capsaicin in hot peppers is what makes peppers hot. If you handle hot peppers gloveless, it’s a guarantee that you’re in for a nasty case of chili burn, both on your fingers and anywhere you rub. Like your face. Ouch!
- Even if you wear disposable gloves, be careful about what you touch. The gloves are going to protect your fingers, but touching any part of your body with the gloves after you’ve handled hot peppers can lead to severe chili burn.
- Resist the temptation to rub your eyes. Wait until you’ve removed your gloves and washed your hands thoroughly with soap.

I am trying to make a hot jalapeño mustard similar to the Beaver Brand one. There isn’t any sugar or flour in it, but every recipe I’ve found for making a hot jalapeño mustard calls for both. Can you tell me why? I’m just so confused.
I’ve never tried that specific mustard before but I did a quick google search and they do list sugar as one of their ingredients. If I had to guess they might be using the Xanthan Gum instead of flour for their thickening agent.
Lordy is this ever tasty!!!!! Can’t wait to plan menus around it!!!
This is delicious just as written! The only thing I did differently was to process half pints in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
Should never can anything with flour in it, especially just water bath. This is just setting up a great risk of bacteria forming with the flour. Hope you are ok and did not get sick
Although I am not a fan of jalapeño peppers, this recipe is great. Spicy but not overpowering. Made it and gave some to friends who just loved it. Will surely make it again.
