Blue Cranberry Sauce image

This is my recipe for a very tasty and unique cranberry sauce. It was this recipe that converted my 'we only want the jellied sauce in can' family into homemade cranberry sauce lovers. This sauce is best if made a day ahead and can be served either warm or cold. (I prefer warm, but my family is partial to cold).

BLUE CRANBERRY SAUCE



Blue Cranberry Sauce image

I wanted something different than just cranberry sauce- but still wanted the 'tradition' of it. I have made this sauce for Thanksgiving 3 years in a row and it gits rave reviews from- what seems like- everyone that eats it- Even from people who don't like 'traditional' cranberry sauce. I recommend that you make this a day ahead (refrigerate) to let flavors mingle. I serve it cold- As far as the spices go- I don't really measure... I know 1/8th of a tsp of cloves seems like a lot- i just shake a bit in... but if you don't like cloves- just omit them! Enjoy!!! :)
