Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 2 cups seedless red or black grapes
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups orange juice
- 1 teaspoon zest of an orange
- 0.25 cups water
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the cranberries and grapes under cold water. Remove any stems from the grapes and discard any bruised or damaged cranberries.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, grapes, granulated sugar, orange juice, orange zest, water, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to help dissolve the sugar.
Step 4
Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue to cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the grapes soften, creating a slightly thickened sauce.
Step 5
Use a spoon or potato masher to gently mash some of the grapes and cranberries for a chunkier texture, or blend slightly for a smoother consistency.
Step 6
Remove the pan from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Step 7
Transfer the cranberry grape sauce to a serving dish or an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Serve chilled or at room temperature alongside your favorite dishes. Enjoy!
