Blackberry Cranberry Sauce

By Texaschef11

Ingredients

• 12 oz. fresh cranberries
• 2 cups blackberries
• 1 cup sugar
• ¼ tsp. salt
• ¼ tsp. allspice
• 2 tsp. cornstarch
• 2 tbsp. water

Preparation

Step 1

Place cranberries in a medium saucepan. Add water to the pan, just under 1-inch deep (berries do not need to be completely covered.) Heat over medium-high heat until the berries begin to pop. Cook a few minutes more, until most of the skins have popped. Gently stir in the blackberries, sugar, salt and allspice. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water and whisk together until smooth. Add the mixture to the pan with the berries and stir to incorporate. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until the sauce has thickened. Smash the berries a bit while you stir, leaving some berries intact for a chunkier texture. Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to serve.
