Ingredients

  • 1 cup red wine vinegar
  • cup yellow mustard seeds
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 ¾ cups fresh or frozen cranberries about one 12-oz bag
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup dry mustard
  • 2 ½ teaspoons ground allspice

Instructions

  • Bring vinegar to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat and add mustard seeds. Cover and let stand at room temperature until seeds have absorbed most of the moisture, about 1-1/2 hours.
  • Prepare boiling water canner. Heat jars in simmering water until ready for use. Do not boil. Wash lids in warm soapy water and set bands aside.
  • Combine mustard seeds and liquid, water and Worcestershire sauce in a food processor or blender. Process until slightly grainy. Add cranberries and blend until chopped.
  • Bring cranberry mixture to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Whisk in sugar, dry mustard and allspice. Continue to simmer, stirring frequently, until volume is reduced by a third, about 15 minutes.
  • Ladle hot cranberry mustard into hot jars leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Wipe rim. Center hot lid on jar. Apply band and adjust until fit is fingertip tight. Place jar in boiling water canner. Repeat until all jars are filled.
  • Process in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes, adjusting for altitude.
  • Turn off heat, remove lid, let jars stand 5 minutes. Remove jars and cool 12-24 hours. Check lids for seal, they should not flex when center is pressed

Notes

You can find vegan Worcestershire sauce online or at natural grocers. Simply look for the brands that don't have anchovy.
