Sweet-Tart Cranberry-Cherry Sauce
Dana Cowin's cranberry-cherry sauce features bold, sweet cherries and crisp, tart cranberries.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh or thawed frozen cranberries (4 cups)
- 1 1/2 cups dried sour cherries (9 ounces)
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup pure cranberry juice
- Juice from 1/2 navel orange (1/4 cup)
- Kosher salt
Instructions
- 1In a medium saucepan, stir together the cranberries, cherries, sugar, cranberry juice, and orange juice. Bring to a simmer. Cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce is jammy, about 15 minutes.
- 2Scrape the cranberry sauce into a heatproof bowl, and let cool completely. Season with salt, and refrigerate until chilled. Serve the sauce cold or at room temperature; stir in a few tablespoons of water if the sauce is too thick.
