Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Cranberries, fresh, rinsed A 12-ounce bag
  • 1- 1¼ cups Water see note
  • ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ cup Sugar, granulated
  • ½ cup Dark Brown Sugar
  • ½ cup Blackberries, fresh see note
  • 1 tablespoon Raspberry or Rice Vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Place the cranberries in a medium saucepan with the water, salt and the two sugars on medium high heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
    Bring the mixture to a boil until the cranberries pop and sizzle, about 4-5 minutes.
    Add the berries and the vinegar, lower the heat to medium, and let the mixture gently simmer, stirring occasionally for 6-8 more minutes, until the liquid is syrupy and almost evaporated. If the mixture is very thick, add up to a quarter cup more water and continue to cook until the sauce is syrupy and chunky.
    Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
    Cool and serve. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • If needed, add up to another quarter cup of water if the mixture seems overly stiff.  It will firm up with cooling. 
  • Substitute rice vinegar for the raspberry vinegar if needed.
  • Substitute fresh raspberries for the fresh blackberries if you'd like.
  • Don't over-stir the mixture when cooking, you want it chunky.
