Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a non-aluminum pot or glass jar, combine the yellow mustard seeds, cider vinegar, and dried cranberries.
  2. Cover the container tightly and let the mixture soak at room temperature for 48 hours.
  3. Check periodically to ensure the seeds remain submerged; add more vinegar if necessary.
  4. After soaking, scrape the entire seed-and-cranberry mixture into a food processor.
  5. Process the mixture until it transforms from a liquid with whole seeds into a creamy consistency flecked with seeds and bits of cranberry.
  6. Add honey and salt to the processed mixture.
  7. Continue processing for at least 3-4 minutes, being patient as the mixture thickens.
  8. If the mustard is too thick, add additional vinegar one tablespoon at a time to reach a desired creamy texture, keeping in mind it will thicken slightly upon standing.
  9. Transfer the mustard to a clean jar. It can be used immediately, but letting it age for one week allows the cranberry flavor to settle and deepen.
