How to Make Cranberry Sauce With Dried Cherries

  1. Combine 12 ounces fresh cranberries, 1 cup dried cherries, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup orange juice, and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low.
  3. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened, about 15-20 minutes. The longer you simmer, the thicker it will become.
  4. If the cranberry sauce is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool completely before serving. The flavors will meld beautifully as it cools.
