Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh cranberries
- 1 cup Dried sour cherries
- 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1/4 cup Orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Dark rum
- 1/8 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and set them aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the dried sour cherries, granulated sugar, water, and orange juice. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the cranberries, orange zest, and ground cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Stir occasionally and allow the cranberries to burst and soften, about 10-12 minutes.
Once the sauce has thickened slightly, remove it from the heat and stir in the dark rum and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Let the sauce cool to room temperature before serving, or refrigerate it for later use.
Serve as a side dish with your favorite holiday meals, spread on sandwiches, or use it as a topping for desserts.
