Every Thanksgiving, I love making a side dish our family calls “Blue Cranberries.” Fresh cranberries and blueberries simmer together with orange and warm spices—a beautiful little tradition that brings color and sweetness to our holiday table.

🌿 RosemaryThyme Blue Cranberries
Cranberry–Blueberry Sauce with Orange & Warm Spices

Makes: About 3 cups

Ingredients

• 1 bag (12 ounces) fresh cranberries from Walmart, rinsed and sorted
• 1 pint organic fresh blueberries from Walmart, rinsed
• ½ cup water
• ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• ½ cup Great Value Granulated Sugar, plus more to taste
• 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest, avoiding the white pith
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Small pinch ground cloves

Directions

1. Combine the water, orange juice, and sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
2. Add the cranberries, blueberries, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
3. Return to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce begins to thicken. Leave some blueberries whole for texture.
4. Stir in the orange zest. Taste a cooled spoonful and add more sugar, a tablespoon at a time, if desired.
5. Remove from the heat and let cool. Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate until serving. The sauce will thicken as it chills.

Recipe Notes

• Starting with ½ cup sugar gives this sauce a pleasantly tart flavor.
• Use a very small pinch of cloves so they complement the fruit.
• Make a day or two ahead for an easier Thanksgiving morning.

A little RosemaryThyme note

Some of our sweetest holiday traditions come in the smallest serving bowls. This jewel-colored sauce is one I look forward to sharing every Thanksgiving.
