Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the blueberries under cold water and drain them well.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh blueberries, mustard seeds, and water. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries begin to break down and release their juices.
Using a spoon or potato masher, gently mash the blueberries in the saucepan to create a chunky mixture.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Simmer the mixture for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring often, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Transfer the blueberry mustard to a blender or food processor and pulse a few times if you prefer a smoother texture. Otherwise, leave it as is for a more rustic finish.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more honey for sweetness or vinegar for tanginess.
Once cooled, store the blueberry mustard in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
