Cooking Notes

This is a tasty recipe but seems to be missing a critical step, namely that once everying is in the skillet you have to simmer it until the liquid is absorbed/evaporated. Also why the "skip the lemon juice?" Unless I've totally missed something there is no lemon juice in the ingredients.

Next time I may do an amalgam of this and other recipes, perhaps adding some horseradish, thyme, and cayenne.

Don't mostarda recipes generally call for mustard essence rather than dijon?

Do I really have to use dried fruit? I will play around with this and get back to you. I don't want all that sugar that jam and marmalade rx call for but, here in Italy, have a ton of plums and apricots I want to cook and freeze. Any suggestions would be welcome-there are very few plum recipes in this NYT cooking section..
