Ingredients

  • 6 ounces frozen cranberries
  • 6 ounces frozen sweet cherries
  • ¾ cup apple juice I like Martinelli’s brand
  • ½ teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons honey or more to taste (optional)

Instructions

  • Measure out the cranberries and cherries and place them in saucepan. (No kitchen scale? Just use half a 12-ounce bag of cranberries and measure out about an equal amount of frozen cherries. Or measure 1½ cups of frozen cranberries + 1½ cups of frozen sweet cherries. Easy peasy.)
  • Pour in the apple juice, minced ginger, and a pinch of salt.
  • Bring the contents of the pan to a boil over high heat, and then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook the sauce for 8 to 10 minutes or until  it’s thickened and the fruit has broken down.
  • Taste for sweetness and add honey if needed. Cool to room temperature and serve with your Turkey Day dinner—or better yet, make it up to 5 days in advance and keep it in a tightly sealed container in the fridge.

Notes

Serving size is calculated as ¼ cup (approximately the recipe).
