Cranberry Blueberry Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Remove all the discolored/white cranberries and discard, then rinse the cranberries and blueberries separately under cold water.
• Place the cranberries into a medium saucepan with the orange juice and sugar; bring to a boil over medium heat stirring.
• Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes or until the cranberries pop.
• Using a potato masher or the back of a large spoon slightly mash the berries just to make certain all the skins are broken.
• Mix in the allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon starting with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and add in more to taste; mix until completely combined (about 1 minute) adjust the spices if needed.
• Turn off the heat element and mix in the blueberries.
• Using a potato masher or spoon mash only a few berries.
• Remove from heat; cool slightly.
• Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until thickened (the sauce will thicken as it cools).

Steps:

• Mix cranberries, water, orange zest and juice, cinnamon sticks, ginger, vanilla extract, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice together in a large saucepan until well combined; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until many of the cranberries pop and sauce starts to thicken, about 20 minutes.
• Add blueberries and maple syrup; cook and stir until mixture returns to a simmer. Cook, stirring frequently, until desired consistency, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely. Remove cinnamon sticks and cloves; refrigerate for 6 hours, to overnight.

Steps:

• Wash berries. Discard soft or bruised berries.
• In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine all ingredients.
• Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves.
• Continue boiling until cranberries pop - or burst open, usually 10-15 minutes.
• Sauce should be thickened somewhat. If you aren't sure, check the temperature. A good setting for sauce is 217-218 degrees, or about 5 degrees above boiling water temperature.
• Ladle into jars leaving ½ inch headspace. Wipe of jar rim with a damp paper towel.
• Top with two-piece lids. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
• Let cool for 5 minutes in canner. Remove and let sit for 12 hours.
• Makes 3-4 pints.

Steps:

• Wash and pick over cranberries. Place in a medium saucepan with water, and sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, stir and simmer for 10 minutes or until cranberries burst.
• Slightly mash the cranberries with the back of a wooden spoon to insure all skins are broken. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. Mix well.
• Remove from heat and mix in the blueberries (don't be afraid to break a few, but don't over mash either). The sauce will thicken as it cools.
• Transfer to a bowl, cool slightly and place plastic wrap directly on top of sauce to cover. Refrigerate until chilled.
