Mustard Fruit

Does anyone know where I can buy mustard fruit in So. NH, or maybe No. Mass.? I used to buy it when I lived in Europe, and it is a personal favorite. I believe it is called "mostarda" in Italian, but it seemed to be popular in other parts of Europe as well, especially Switz. and Germany.
Thanks

    I usually buy it online for my restaurant but I saw it at my local A&P in the" gourmet" cheese section last week.

      Thanks; we don't have A&P, but I'll check the fancy cheese section of some of our markets around here. BTW, I'm not too impressed with the selection of cheeses in the stores, we could use a good cheese shop in So. NH.

      I've been thinking of trying a recipe, but the mostardo I remember had some more exotic fruits in it, and I don't feel like buying qumquats, etc. for a small batch... maybe I'll just have to make a bigger batch and give some away.

      I've never heard of mustard fruit, but a search brought me to this recipe, which doesn't seem too complicated. If all else fails, you might try your hand at making your own.
