- 21/2 cups cherry cider or black cherry cider or cranberry juice cocktail
- 1 8-ounce package dried tart cherries (about 2 cups)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 12-ounce package cranberries
- 1/4 teaspoon (generous) ground cloves
- Bring cider to simmer in heavy, large saucepan. Remove from heat. Add cherries and let stand 8 minutes. Mix in sugar, then cranberries and cloves. Cook over medium-high heat until cranberries burst, stirring occasionally, about 9 minutes. Refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours (sauce will thicken as it cools). (Can be prepared 4 days ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)
