Cranberry-Fig Sauce image

Figs bring a touch of sweetness to this bright, chutney-ish sauce and nicely offset the sharpness of the vinegar.

Yield Makes about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1 Tbsp. finely chopped rosemary
1 lb. fresh (or frozen) cranberries
6 oz. dried Turkish figs, coarsely chopped
2/3 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook shallot and rosemary, stirring often, until shallot is starting to turn golden, about 4 minutes. Add cranberries, figs, brown sugar, vinegar, 1/2 tsp. salt, and red pepper flakes and increase heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar, and cook, stirring often and reducing heat as needed to avoid scorching, until cranberries burst, juices are syrupy, and pan is visible when a wooden spoon is dragged across the bottom, 9-12 minutes. Let cool. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
  • Do Ahead
  • Sauce can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill.

This sauce is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This sauce is a little too tart for my taste. I think I'll add some more sugar next time.
