Ingredients

  • 12 ounces cranberries fresh or frozen, bag
  • 4- ounces blueberries optional (no need to thaw, add straight from freezer, fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup cabernet sauvignon or shiraz, merlot, or a favorite red wine
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup red currant fruit spread Hero brand
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons cinnamon or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon cloves or to taste, ground

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To a high-sided medium/large stockpot, add all ingredients, and bring to a rolling boil, stirring intermittently. Make sure pot 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.
  2. Reduce the 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.
  3. Transfer to heat-safe jars or containers with lids. Allow sauce to cool at room temperature before refrigerating. Sauce will keep airtight in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks.
  4. Adapted from Cabernet Cranberry and Blueberry Sauce
