Tips:

  • Prep the Cherries: Before using, soak the dried cherries in hot water for 10 minutes to plump them up. This step is optional but recommended for a softer, juicier texture.
  • Use Fresh Cranberries: While frozen cranberries can be used, fresh cranberries are ideal for a brighter, tarter flavor. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Choose the Right Cloves: Whole cloves are preferred over ground cloves for their more intense flavor. If using pre-ground cloves, use half the amount specified in the recipe.
  • Add Sugar to Taste: The amount of sugar in the sauce can be adjusted to your preference. Start with the amount specified in the recipe and add more, if desired, once the sauce has been cooked.
  • Don't Overcook the Sauce: Cranberry sauce is best when it retains some texture. Cook it just until the cranberries have softened and burst, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Let the Sauce Cool: Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving to let the flavors meld together. It will also thicken up as it cools.
  • Store Properly: Cranberry sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

This cranberry sauce with dried cherries and cloves is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes.
