–Peter Keith

300 gyellow mustard seeds
100 gwhite wine (any variety will do)
200 gcider vinegar
125 gwhite sugar
25 gsea salt
150 gcranberry juice
30 ghot mustard powder
300 gdried cranberries, roughly chopped

Soak mustard seeds in wine and vinegar—cover tightly and let sit at room temperature for at least 24 hours, longer if possible. (We age ours for about a month.)

Place soaked seeds and liquid in a pot with sugar, salt, and cranberry juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Once it is bubbling, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently.

Blend the mustard with a hand blender until seeds are crushed to your desired consistency. Gradually add the mustard powder, blending constantly (otherwise it will form lumps in your mustard.) Stir in cranberries and allow to cool fully before use. Store in the refrigerator. Makes about 1 litre.
