Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 6 ounces fresh raspberries
- 3 quarters cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, combine the cranberries, raspberries, sugar, orange juice, orange zest, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.
Step 3
Stir the mixture until the sugar is evenly distributed and the fruit is well coated with the liquid and spices.
Step 4
Spread the fruit mixture out evenly in the baking dish.
Step 5
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap the steam and help the fruit break down as it cooks.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the foil and gently stir the mixture to ensure the sugar fully dissolves and the fruit doesn't stick to the dish.
Step 8
Bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the mixture has thickened slightly.
Step 9
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the sauce cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.
Step 10
Serve the sauce immediately, or transfer it to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
