Thanks Mel,
I will try and let you know the result..:) Thanks heaps! Lyn
Sure, happy to help. Our horseradish mustard would be a combination of the two items you mentioned. It’s perfectly fine to use whole grain mustard on it’s own, or with a bit of horseradish mixed in, to your taste. Either way, it will still work.
Thank you so much Melissa, for your prompt reply. I just came across your website last night and I must say I’m loving it!
May I also ask you another question? We have horseradish cream and mustard wholegrain. It must be different from your horseradish mustard? Lyn
Pickle relish has a sweetness, so, if you have access to sweet pickles or gherkins, finely chopped, would work.
Hi, may I know what can I subsitute for the sweet pickle relish? I can’t find the sweet pickle relish here. Can I just use the normal pickle? Many thanks. Lyn
