Time 20m

Yield 3 1/2 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (12 ounce) bag raw cranberries, washed,dried,and picked over
3/4 cup dried sour cherries
1/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup red currant jelly (3/4 of an 11-ounce jar)
2/3 cup water
1/4 cup dark rum

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine cranberries, sour cherries, sugar, jelly, and water.
  • Over low heat, bring to a low simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes, or until cranberries begin to pop.
  • (Cranberries should be tender, but not mushy. You may cook the sauce to your taste, from firm whole cranberries to softer ones that give off more pectin and make a thicker sauce.) Remove sauce from heat.
  • Stir in rum.
  • Refrigerate at least overnight to thicken sauce.
  • Return to room temperature to serve.
  • Serving Notes: Refrigerated, the sauce keeps for at least three months.
  • And since it easily doubles, you can make it once in early November and be stocked through the holidays.
