Whip up some fresh Cranberry Mustard to give your holiday table some extra pizazz~

I found this recipe in the November issue of Food Network Magazine* [50 things to make with cranberries]

Bring fresh cranberries, honey and water to a boil and then simmer until berries pop

Add mustard and hit with immersion blender [or transfer to food processor or blender, remembering to use blender carefully as hot liquids expand]

Puree to desired texture

Place in a jar with a label

Don’t forget a cupcake paper for the lid

Mini papers fit inside the rim, regular sized cupcake papers will peek out in a little ruffle all around the base of the lid

This jar is ready for table or travel~
