Make sure the mustard seeds are completely submerged in the vinegar. If needed, add a bit more vinegar to cover the seeds thoroughly. Cover the jar tightly and let it sit at room temperature for 48 hours. This soaking process allows the mustard seeds to soften and absorb the flavors of the vinegar and cranberries.

Blend the Mixture:
- After 48 hours, transfer the soaked mixture into a food processor. Blend for about 3-4 minutes until the mixture becomes creamy and the cranberries are finely chopped. The mustard should start to thicken at this stage.
-
Add Honey and Salt:
- Add the honey and kosher salt to the food processor. Blend for an additional 30 seconds to ensure the honey and salt are well incorporated into the mustard mixture. If you find the mixture too thick, you can add more cider vinegar to reach your desired creamy consistency.
-
Final Touches and Storage:
- Transfer the mustard to a clean jar or container with a tight-fitting lid. The mustard will thicken slightly as it sits and the flavors will continue to meld and deepen over time. For the best flavor, let it sit for at least a few days before using.

Enjoy:
- This recipe yields about 3 1/2 cups of delicious Cranberry Honey Mustard. Itβs perfect for spreading on sandwiches, using as a dip for pretzels, or glazing meats. Store it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for several weeks.
Additional Tips and Serving Suggestions π
- Pairing Ideas: This Cranberry Honey Mustard pairs wonderfully with roast turkey or chicken, making it a fantastic addition to your holiday table. It’s also great as a spread on turkey sandwiches, adding a tangy and sweet kick that complements the savory meat perfectly.
