This Raspberry Cranberry Sauce is a tasty twist on your regular cranberry sauce. The raspberries give it a boost of flavor. Delicious on turkey and rolls!
This raspberry cranberry sauce is a tasty twist on your regular cranberry sauce! I decided to try making it this way because I am crazy about cran-raspberry juice! It turned out so yummy, I am definitely adding this to my Thanksgiving menu from now on.
I am also really excited to try it on our pilgrim sandwiches! That is one of my favorite recipes for leftover turkey and I usually get the cranberry sauce in a can, but this sauce tastes so much fresher and better! When I made this recipe I actually doubled it so I could take some little containers around to my family. This would make for a pretty little holiday gift for friends.
This was really easy to make and pretty inexpensive, definitely worth the extra effort to get the fresh flavor! I got a huge bag of fresh cranberries at Costco, but I have also found them around local grocery stores.
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 c. sugar
- 1 cup water
- 3 cups fresh whole, and uncooked cranberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 tsp almond extract or vanilla
Instructions
- Pour the sugar and water into a large saucepan. Stir together and bring to a boil on high.
- Add the cranberries and raspberries and return to boiling.
- Turn the heat down to medium so it is a low boil and cook for 10 minutes.
- Place a strainer over a large bowl and pour the sauce in so the strainer catches the berries. Use a wire whisk to mash the berries to desired consistency then add them back to the sauce.
- Stir in the almond extract then cover with some aluminum foil and let the sauce cool to room temperature on the counter.
- Spoon sauce in to containers and keep refrigerated.

Echo says
November 19, 2014 at 8:29 pmIt makes about 4-5 cups of sauce, depending how many cranberries and raspberries you pack into a cup. So, if a serving size is 1/4 cup – that makes 16 servings. But, beware… this is really good and your guests will probably take more that 1/4 cup. 🙂

October 2, 2018 at 9:06 pmYes, you should be able to can this just as you would any kind of jam or jelly. If you want to be extra cautious you could add a little lemon juice to the mixture to boost up the acidity. Hope this helps!
