Homemade Cranberry Blackberry Sauce by Angela Roberts

I have made an abundance of blackberry recipes this year.  As a friend (thank you CL) was moving out of state, she handed me over twenty pounds of frozen blackberries she had hand picked. I was committed to not letting any go to waste, and I began creating blackberry recipes.  I thought I used them all up and surprisingly found one last bag  this week.

Although I’m sort of a traditional Thanksgiving cook, I thought why not add them to cranberries and make a new kind of sauce? The result was even more surprising. Rich in color, and fragrant in fall flavors, I had a delightful new recipe that might just become a new tradition.

The Process

I boiled the frozen berries down, threw in sugar, cranberries, almond extract, triple sec, a cinnamon stick, juice and zest of an orange. The flavors are fun and complex, and the deep color is captivating. The nice surprise is that I had too much liquid and was able to extract over a cup of syrup that I can use for other things from savory to sweet, perhaps duck breast, pancakes, ice cream, or goat cheese.

The possibilities of how to use the syrup are endless. It’s sweet but not too sweet and unlike a blueberry syrup, this has winter flavors. I added in a dash of sea salt and a grinding of black pepper to even further punch up the flavors. You can skip that step if it’s a little too daring.

This recipe is more of an idea to be inspired and try new flavors. You could make this recipe with raspberries also. You can change the combination and use 1 cup blackberries or raspberries and 3 cups cranberries. I used equal amounts but you can make this your own.

    I am totally crazy for cranberries and try to make something new and unexpected each year. I don’t have any blackberries right now but I wish I did; I would do this in a heartbeat.

    LOVE that you added blackberries to the cranberry sauce. What a gorgeous color! And so great that it made extra liquid. I love the versatility of that. But right now…pancakes come to mind! : )
