Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag Fresh Cranberries (about 12 oz.)
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar
  • ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
  • ¼ cup Candied Cocktail Cherries, chopped (I recommend Luxardo)
  • 1 Tbsp Cocktail Cherry Syrup
  • ½ cup Fresh squeezed Tangerine Juice
  • Zest of one Tangerine
  • 3 Tbsp Good quality Whiskey or Bourbon

Instructions
 

  • Zest your Tangerines first, then cut and squeeze the juice out (strain out any seeds).
  • Over medium heat, dissolve the sugars in the juice and zest.
  • Add the cranberries and chopped cherries and cook until the cranberries start to pop.
  • Turn the heat to low and add the Bourbon/Whiskey and the cherry syrup. Cook for another minute.
  • Remove from heat and let cool. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
  • Serve once cooled, or cover tightly and store in the fridge until ready.
