Variations & Tips
For those who enjoy a bit of extra spice, adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or some smoked paprika to the recipe can give these bites a delightful kick. If dealing with picky eaters, you might want to reduce the mustard and vinegar slightly to soften the flavors. And for an even fruitier twist, try adding a handful of dried cranberries or raisins in the last hour of cooking.
