Apricot and Cherry Mostarda

Apricot and Cherry Mostarda {Gluten-Free, Vegan} | Wheat-Free Meat-Free

Mostarda is an Italian condiment of candied fruit in a mustard flavored syrup. Many versions use dried fruit, but since we’re right in prime fruit season, I thought I’d use fresh.

Apricot and Cherry Mostarda

  • ¼ pound apricots (~2 small apricots)
  • 2 ounces Bing cherries (~8 cherries)
  • 2 ounces Rainier cherries (~8 cherries)
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dry mustard powder
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
  1. Put all the ingredients in a small pot. Set over medium-high heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, and allow to come to a boil.  Reduce heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The fruit should be soft and the liquid should be a syrupy consistency. Let cool to room temperature.

Makes approximately ¾ cup

Making Mostarda | Wheat-Free Meat-Free

Mostarda is traditionally served as an accompaniment to meat. I decided to go with cheese and crackers. Mike liked it on toast as well. I bet it’d be tasty over some tofu.
