Steps:
- Preparation Make the simple syrup by combining ¾ cup water and ¾ cup sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar and bring to a boil. Remove at once from heat and let cool. Combine the apricots, simple syrup, and wine in a medium pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes to soften the apricots, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the pepper flakes, mustard seeds, and olive oil. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate overnight before serving. (The mostarda can be refrigerated for up to 1 month.) Assemble your antipasti platter before heading to the hosts' home. Spread the goat cheese atop the crackers, then spread a dollop of the apricot mostarda atop the goat cheese. Arrange the meats, cheeses, marinated vegetables, and a little cup of the apricot mostarda on the platter. Don't forget to slice the crusty Italian bread and arrange in a basket, bowl, or whatever is convenient. Chef's notes: Whole Foods, Fairway, and the Darien Cheese Shop all sell an amazing variety of cheeses and meats. Availability varies from store to store, so we tried to recommend an array of Mario's recommendations. Don't forget to make the apricot mostarda at least a day in advance!
