Looks delicious! How long do you estimate it’ll stay good in the fridge?
About 4 days =)
I get apple juice sweetened dried cranberries and cherries at Vitacost online!
Very good, I added teaspoon of mustard but otherwise made per instructions. Will definitely make again.
Can I use apple cider vinegar instead of white wine vinegar?
Yes
Substitute for cashews?
almonds
Sorry. I should have asked substitute for nuts.
You could try sunflower seeds
