How to Make Cranberry Mustard

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon mustard powder, 1 tablespoon mustard seeds, 1/4 cup white wine vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 12 hours.
  4. In a food processor, pulse 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries until finely chopped, leaving some texture.
  5. In the top of a double boiler, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar and 2 large eggs.
  6. Whisk in the mustard mixture from step 3, 1/2 cup cranberry juice, and 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar.
  7. Place the double boiler over a pot of simmering water (make sure the bottom of the top pan doesn't touch the water).
  8. Whisk frequently for 45 minutes, until the mixture is thick and reaches 180-185°F (82-85°C) on a candy thermometer.
  9. Remove from heat and let stand for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  10. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours, or up to 48 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
