Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh cranberries
- 1 cup Dried sour cherries
- 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1/4 cup Orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Dark rum
- 1/8 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and set them aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the dried sour cherries, granulated sugar, water, and orange juice. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the cranberries, orange zest, and ground cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Stir occasionally and allow the cranberries to burst and soften, about 10-12 minutes.
Step 5
Once the sauce has thickened slightly, remove it from the heat and stir in the dark rum and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Step 6
Let the sauce cool to room temperature before serving, or refrigerate it for later use.
Step 7
Serve as a side dish with your favorite holiday meals, spread on sandwiches, or use it as a topping for desserts.
