Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons crème decassis (black-currant-flavored liqueur)
1 12-ounce bag fresh cranberries
1 cup dried cranberries
1 tablespoon ketchup

Steps:

  • Bring 1 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup crème de cassis to boil in heavy medium saucepan over high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add fresh cranberries; return to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until cranberries pop and sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in dried cranberries, ketchup, and 2 tablespoons crème de cassis. Chill until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • For a boozy twist, add your favorite liquor to the sauce. Vodka, rum, and whiskey all work well.
  • If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries. Just thaw them before using.
  • You can also add other fruits to the sauce, such as oranges, apples, or pears.
  • If you want a chunky sauce, don't overcook the cranberries. Cook them just until they start to burst.
  • If you want a smooth sauce, use a food processor or blender to puree the cranberries.
