    I would love the punch that the mustard gives. Your presentation is perfect too. Once I made a wonderful cranberry relish only to have hubby tell me that he likes the canned kind! Funny how we love things from our childhoods! I would love this instead. Yummy!

    Thank you for the nice recipe.

    I love flavored mustards and this does sound especially good with ham Jenna! Sometimes I don’t try things from the 50 Booklets right away but I’ve begun saving them for inspiration later:@)

  4. This sounds so good. I wish I had some right now. I can just imagine the play of flavors. Thanks for posting this,

    I saw this in FN magazine Jenna! I used to buy Hickory Farm’s Cranberry Mustard every year to enjoy with our turkey leftovers on rolls or sandwiches but I’m sure this recipe is tastier and more economical 🙂

    We received a basket of goodies from a corporate account (you know the type) 5-6 years ago. There was a container of some cranberry spread that we devoured on our leftover turkey sandwiches. I can hardly wait to make this…seems like it will be so much like that spread we enjoyed. Thanks for sharing this, Jenna. 🙂

  7. Oh, this would be fabulous with so many things! Thanks for sharing.

  8. I love cranberry anything, and adding mustard must make this incredible! I would love if you would share this at Celebrate it! It is all about celebrating the little and big events of our everyday lives. http://thefreshmancook.blogspot.com/2014/12/celebrate-it-blog-party-21.html

    I made a double batch the other day to put on sandwiches during Christmas and to share with neighbors. I added 1 teaspoon of sugar per batch. It is so good on turkey sandwiches…just can’t get enough! I may have to make more before Christmas even gets here! 🙂
