Cranberry Raspberry Sauce
Description
The sauce starts by boiling sugar and water until dissolved, then adding whole fresh cranberries and raspberries to simmer. After cooking, the mixture is strained to remove seeds and skins, with the berries pressed to release their pulp back into the sauce. A teaspoon of almond extract enhances the flavor with a subtle nutty aroma. Cool to room temperature before storing.
The flavor profile balances the tartness of cranberries with the sweetness of raspberries, giving a smooth but textured consistency typical of homemade fruit sauces. This sauce can be served chilled as a spread or accompaniment, or gently warmed as a condiment.
It stores well in an airtight container for up to two weeks in the refrigerator. The sauce can be reheated or served cold, making it versatile for various uses like alongside poultry, pork, or even on breakfast items.
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 3 cups cranberries fresh, whole, and uncooked
- 1 cup raspberry
- 1 teaspoon almond extract or vanilla
Instructions
- Pour the sugar and water into a large saucepan. Stir together and bring to a boil on high.
- Add the cranberries and raspberries and return to boiling. Turn the heat down to medium so it is a low boil and cook for 10 minutes.
- Place a strainer over a large bowl and pour the sauce in so the strainer catches the berries. Use a wire whisk to mash the berries to desired consistency then add them back to the sauce. Stir in the almond extract then cover with some aluminum foil and let the sauce cool to room temperature on the counter.
Notes
- Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Enjoy the sauce chilled like jam or reheat gently for a warm condiment.
- Use fresh cranberries and raspberries for the best texture and flavor.
