Fruit mostarda is a delicious sweet and spicy preserve made with quinces, pears, candied orange and citron peels, white wine, sugar and mustard extract. This specialty has ancient origins and is often served as an accompaniment to aged cheeses. Its preparation takes time, but the result is definitely worth it.
