Best Blueberry Cranberry Sauce Recipes

BLUEBERRY-CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove all the discolored/white cranberries and discard, then rinse the cranberries and blueberries separately under cold water.
• Place the cranberries into a medium saucepan with the orange juice and sugar; bring to a boil over medium heat stirring.
• Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes or until the cranberries pop.
• Using a potato masher or the back of a large spoon slightly mash the berries just to make certain all the skins are broken.
• Mix in the allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon starting with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and add in more to taste; mix until completely combined (about 1 minute) adjust the spices if needed.
• Turn off the heat element and mix in the blueberries.
• Using a potato masher or spoon mash only a few berries.
• Remove from heat; cool slightly.
• Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until thickened (the sauce will thicken as it cools).
