Recipes usually included a purée of quinces, pears, or apples, to which chopped candied fruit, sugar, mustard, spices, and salt were added, before cooking and thickening in cooked must (‘mosto cotto’ made from boiled down grape juice) whose high sugar content and acidity made it an excellent preservative. Combined with mustard seeds that have powerful anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, it was a highly effective way of preserving fruit – still in use today, especially in north Italy. The jar held Mostarda Fina, a fruit pickle or sauce. While mustard was possibly the contents of some jars, it seems more likely that the majority of large jars held fruit pickle. The essential ingredient was cooked must (mosto cotto), freshly pressed grape juice which was boiled and reduced until it became thick and black, almost like molasses. Its sugar level and acidity made it an excellent preservative for the fruit content, particularly when combined with mustard seeds (semi di senape). Modern Venetian recipes usually include a purée of quinces, or other fruit, such as pears and apples, cooked in white wine, to which are added chopped candied fruit, sugar, mustard, spices and salt. This mixture is cooked until it becomes very thick before being put into containers. It is still made in the Veneto. reference term-125332 adlib-term-125332 76f10b5d-9bf4-36d4-b4e3-f4df05af8260 16th Century, third quarter reference term-10618 adlib-term-10618
