I've tried in the past to make Mostarda di Cremona using dried fruit and whole mustard seeds, but it didn't have the same flavour.My versions were quite nice but without the distinctive character and I've now lost the recipe.
Italian mostarda is made with mustard oil, which is hard to find.Here's an interesting article about it:
Thanks davidt4.I won't give up looking and will post recipie if it comes to hand.

I had a brilliant recipe, but alas, I've lost it. It was from a NZ House and Garden or a Cuisine Magazine from several years ago, and involved LOTS of honey, mustard and mustard seedsand glace fruits. I made a couple of batches to give away for Christmas presents a few years ago. My friends all gobbled theirs up, (labelling it "an orgasm in a jar" in the process, and came back for the recipe, but alas! in the pre Christmas cleanup, I put the magazine in a "safe place", and it hasn't been seen since!
