Hot Pepper Mustard - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    5 habanero peppers (you can change up the number of peppers to suit your taste) or 5 bell peppers, of you choice (you can change up the number of peppers to suit your taste)
    1 1/2 cups vinegar
    1/4 cup salt
    1 1/2 cups water
    5 cups sugar
    1 cup flour
    1 tablespoon turmeric
    1 tablespoon dry mustard
    1 (16 ounce) jar plain mustard
Preparation
    Wash peppers and place in blender with vinegar.
    Blend until peppers are ground fine.
    In a saucepan, combine pepper/vinegar combination with salt and water.
    Cook until peppers are tender.
    Strain through cheesecloth and return liquid to large boiler.
    In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, flour, turmeric, dry mustard and mustard.
    Stir well, making a paste.
    Add to boiler and cook over low heat until everything is blended well.
    Slowly bring up to a boil, stirring constantly.
    It will stick if it is not stirred constantly.
    It will thicken as soon as it gets to a boil.
    Turn off and dip into prepared jars.
    Be sure to wipe rim of jars completely clean with warm towel and place preheated lids on jars and tighten rings.
    I use the inversion method of sealing the lids which is to turn upside down for 5 minutes.
    Many think this is unsafe, so there is no harm in processing in a water bath for 5 to 10 minutes if it will make you feel a little more comfortable.
    Turn upright after 5 minutes and allow to cool completely before moving.
