Ingredients

• 1 cup Fresh cranberries
• 1 cup Fresh raspberries
• 0.5 cup Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the cranberries and raspberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine the fresh cranberries with 2 tablespoons of water. Cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, or until the cranberries begin to burst and soften.

Step 3

Remove the cranberries from the heat and let them cool slightly.

Step 4

In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked cranberries, fresh raspberries, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Blend the mixture on high until smooth and emulsified. If the vinaigrette is too thick, you can add an additional tablespoon of water to thin it out to your desired consistency.

Step 6

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or honey, if necessary.

Step 7

Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Shake or stir the vinaigrette before using it on your favorite salad or as a marinade for grilled meats or vegetables.
