How to Make Cranberry Herb Sauce

  1. In a large saucepan, sauté 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion and 2 cloves minced garlic in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 1 (12-ounce) bag fresh cranberries, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup dry white wine, 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup chicken bouillon, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 2 bay leaves, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped), and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 1 hour, or until the sauce has reduced by half and thickened, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove the bay leaves and discard.
  6. Carefully transfer the sauce to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and puree until smooth.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve warm with your favorite poultry, lamb, pork, sweet potatoes, or stuffing.
