Blueberry-Cranberry Sauce image

Although frozen berries may be used fresh is always better especially the blueberries, this will yield 8 servings I strongly suggest to double the amounts if you are serving more people, this is a delicious sauce and everyone will want more! --- if you prefer a more intense blueberry taste then increase to 1-1/2 cups

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (12 ounce) package cranberries (can use fresh or frozen)
1 cup unsweetened orange juice (can use half orange juice and water)
1 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (can use up 1 teaspoon or to taste)
1 1/4 cups blueberries (can use fresh or frozen)

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).
