Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 12 ounces raspberries
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple see notes
- ⅔ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup Grand Marnier
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Rinse the fresh cranberries and raspberries.
- Drain and discard one-half cup of juice from the can of crushed pineapple. You will be using the rest of the juice. Make sure that the canned crushed pineapple you use is packed in juice - not syrup.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the rinsed cranberries, raspberries, crushed pineapple with juice (less one-half cup juice), white and brown sugars, Grand Mariner, and salt. Give a stir.
- Stirring to melt the sugars, heat on medium/high heat until the mixture comes to a boil. This will take about five minutes. Turn the heat down to medium/low. It will still continue to simmer. Continue to cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. During the last five minutes of cooking, press many of the cranberries against the side of the pan to ensure they have popped and released their juices.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool in the refrigerator for at least six hours before serving.
- This can (and should) be cooked ahead of time. The cranberry raspberry sauce will keep in the fridge for up to five days if tightly covered. You can freeze what you won't use.
Notes
You will be using a 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple in juice. Drain out and discard 1/2 cup of the juice. Use the rest.
The serving size is one-third cup.
It's already pretty sweet - but still tart enough to go with a savory dish. You can add more sugar to make this sauce sweeter and use to top breads, muffins, or pancakes.
You can freeze in an airtight container. Just set it in the fridge overnight to thaw.
