How to Make Cherry Cranberry Sauce
- Combine 12 ounces fresh cranberries, 1 cup pitted fresh cherries, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup orange juice, and 1/4 cup water in a large saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the cranberries burst and the sauce has thickened slightly (about 15-20 minutes). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Whisk in 1 teaspoon agar-agar powder (or 1 tablespoon chia seeds for a vegan option).
- Bring the sauce back to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. This helps the agar-agar set properly.
- Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before transferring it to a heatproof bowl or jar.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the sauce to fully set. The longer it chills, the better it will thicken.
- Serve chilled and enjoy! This sauce is delicious with turkey, ham, or even on its own with a dollop of whipped cream.
