 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    3/4   c            Yellow mustard seeds
  1 1/2   c            Cider vinegar
  1 1/4   c            Dried cranberries (available
                       -in health-food and gourmet
                       -stores
  3       tb           Honey
  1       t            Salt

 As the dried cranberries soak with the mustard and vinegar, their
 bright red color leaches out into the vinegar. The resulting mustard
 is a pretty, cranberry-tinted pink.

 In a non-aluminum pot or jar, combine the mustard seeds, vinegar and
 cranberries; cover and soak for 48 hours, adding additional vinegar if
 necessary to maintain enough liquid to cover the seeds.

 Scrape the soaked seed-and-cranberry mixture into a food processor and
 process until the mixture turns from liquid and seeds to a creamy
 mixture flecked with seeds and bits of cranberry. Add honey and salt.
 The process takes at least 3-4 minutes, so be patient. You may need
 to add additional vinegar as necessary to create a nice creamy
 mustard; keep in mind that it will thicken slightly upon standing.

 After about one week of aging, the cranberry flavor seems to settle
 into this mustard and make it all the better, but it is perfectly good
 immediately. Makes about 3 1/3 cups.
