Blue Cranberry Sauce image

I wanted something different than just cranberry sauce- but still wanted the 'tradition' of it. I have made this sauce for Thanksgiving 3 years in a row and it gits rave reviews from- what seems like- everyone that eats it- Even from people who don't like 'traditional' cranberry sauce. I recommend that you make this a day ahead (refrigerate) to let flavors mingle. I serve it cold- As far as the spices go- I don't really measure... I know 1/8th of a tsp of cloves seems like a lot- i just shake a bit in... but if you don't like cloves- just omit them! Enjoy!!! :)

Time 25m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (12 ounce) package fresh cranberries
1 cup water
1/2 cup white sugar (bakers sugar is best)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves or 1/8 teaspoon allspice
1 pint fresh blueberries

Steps:

  • Wash and pick over cranberries. Place in a medium saucepan with water and sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, stir and simmer for 10 minutes or until cranberries burst.
  • Slightly mash the cranberries with the back of a wooden spoon to insure all skins are broken. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Mix well.
  • Remove from heat and mix in the blueberries (don't be afraid to break a few, but don't over mash either). The sauce will thicken as it cools.
  • Transfer to a bowl, cool slightly and place plastic wrap directly on top of sauce to cover. Refrigerate until chilled.
