This Cabernet Cranberry and Blueberry Sauce blends fresh cranberries and frozen blueberries with red wine and warm spices, creating a rich, tangy sauce ideal for complementing savory dishes.

Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) cranberries fresh, in bag
- 6 ounces blueberries about 1 1/2 cups, unthawed, frozen
- 1 cup cabernet sauvignon or shiraz, merlot, or a favorite red wine
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon or to taste
- 1 teaspoon cloves or to taste, ground
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a medium to large kettle, and bring to a rolling boil, stirring intermittently. Make sure kettle has room for sauce to at least triple in volume. The juices from the berries release and as the mixture boils rapidly, it will foam and a too-small pot will easily overflow.
- Reduce heat to low and allow sauce to simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until reduced and thickened slightly, and most of the cranberries have burst. Sauce will thicken more as it cools.
- Transfer to heat-safe jars or containers with lids. Allow sauce to cool at room temperature before refrigerating.

Notes
- Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 10 to 14 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the sauce for up to three months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before use.
