How to Make Cranberry Tangerine Blueberry Sauce

  1. Finely grate the zest from tangerines until you have 2 tablespoons. Set aside.
  2. Peel one tangerine, removing all the white pith. Cut between the membranes to release the segments and set aside.
  3. Juice the remaining tangerines until you have 1 cup of juice.
  4. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the tangerine zest, tangerine juice, brown sugar, ginger, and cloves.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  7. Add the cranberries and cook, stirring frequently, until they pop and the sauce begins to thicken (about 8 minutes).
  8. Stir in the reserved tangerine segments and blueberries.
  9. Cook until the blueberries are heated through and the sauce is thickened to your liking (about 2-3 minutes).
  10. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  11. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. (Can be made 4 days ahead)
  12. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
