Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Mustard powder |
| 2 | Mustard seeds |
| 1 | Vinegar |
| 3/4 | Raspberry vinegar |
| 1 | Salt |
| 3/4 | Fresh cranberries |
| 2 | White sugar |
| 2 | Eggs |
| 3 | Fresh lemon juice |
| 3/4 | Honey |
| 1 | Fresh ground black pepper |
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard powder, mustard seeds, vinegar, and salt. π₯
- Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined. π
- Cover the bowl and let it stand for 12 hours at room temperature. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. β³
Making the Cranberry Mix:
- In a food processor, pulse the fresh cranberries until they are finely chopped but still have some texture. You want small bits for that lovely cranberry pop! π
Creating the Mustard Base:
- In the top of a double boiler, whisk together the white sugar and eggs. π³
- Gradually whisk in the remaining ingredients, including the prepared mustard mixture.
Cooking Process:
- Place the bowl on top of a pot of simmering water (double boiler setup). π²
- Whisk the mixture often for about 45 minutes. You’re aiming for a thick, creamy texture, so keep an eye on it! π°οΈ
- The temperature should reach 180 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure the eggs are fully cooked.
Final Touches:
- Once the mustard is cooked to perfection, remove it from the heat. Let it stand for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. This allows it to cool slightly and develop its flavors. π¬οΈ
- Cover the Cranberry Mustard and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours, up to 48 hours. This resting period is crucial for the flavors to marry together harmoniously. π€
Serving Suggestions:
- Spread this Cranberry Mustard on sandwiches for a burst of tangy goodness.

- Serve it alongside a cheese platter for a unique and flavorful dip.
