Sweet Chili Mustard Mostarda Recipe

OohNami’s Sweet Heat Mustard Sauce is simmered with dried apricots and cherries into a vibrant Italian‑Asian mostarda.

Perfect alongside grilled pork chops or paired with your favorite cheeses and charcuterie, this fruit‑infused mustard brings a balance of sweet, tangy, and subtle heat to any board or meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup dried apricots, chopped into ¼-inch pieces
  • ½ cup dried unsweetened cherries, roughly chopped
  • ¾ cup OohNami! Sweet Heat Mustard Sauce
  • ¾ cup water

Directions

  1. Melt the butter
    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
  2. Add remaining ingredients
    Stir in the chopped apricots, chopped cherries, OohNami! Sweet Heat Mustard Sauce, and water.
  3. Simmer the mostarda
    Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer.
    Stir frequently and cook for 15–20 minutes, allowing the dried fruit to rehydrate and the mixture to thicken slightly into a jam-like consistency.
  4. Cool and store
    Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
    Store chilled.
    Before serving, gently reheat on the stove or in the microwave to re-melt the butter.
