Cranberry Honey Mustard
By Kathie N. Lapcevic of homespunseasonalliving.com

2 Tablespoons Yellow Mustard Seeds
1/2 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1 1/2 Cups Cranberries
1/2 Cup Apple Juice
1/4 Cup Honey
3 Tablespoons Dry Mustard
1 teaspoon Ground Coriander
1/2 teaspoon Ground Allspice
Instructions
Bring the apple cider vinegar to a boil. Remove from heat add the mustard seeds and cover. Let sit about 2 hours. The seeds will soften and absorb some the liquid.
Put the seeds and vinegar in a blender. Pulse until the seeds are chopped, leave it a bit grainy. Add the cranberries and apple juice. Pulse again until the cranberries are chopped finely.
Put the cranberry mixture into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir frequently. Whisk in the dry mustard, coriander, and allspice. Add the honey and cook until mixture is as thick as desired.
Put into jars leaving 1/4 headspace. Process in a boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes (adjusting for elevation).
Notes
Makes 2 half pints.
Customize?
Use a different vinegar. Red wine vinegar is good and while I haven’t tried it (yet) balsamic might be quite nice.
Use different spices - don’t like coriander, skip it. Use more allspice or skip the spices all together.
A touch of black pepper is nice.
Make the mustard as grainy or smooth as preferred.
If you like it sweeter add a little more honey (another Tablespoon or two).
You could easily use sugar instead of honey if you’d prefer.
Preserving & Storing the Cranberry Honey Mustard
This is pretty easy and makes a small batch. Canning instructions are included in the recipe. However, if canning isn’t your thing, this small batch will keep in the fridge for at least 2 months possibly longer. I can it in half-pint jars but those four ounces are great options here as well if you’re unlikely to use much at once and they make great gifts
