BLUEBERRY CRANBERRY SAUCE

This Thanksgiving why not try a new kind of cranberry sauce loaded with antioxidants? This delicious sauce is best if made a day ahead.

Ingredients:
1 (12 ounce) package fresh cranberries
1 cup water
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
2 cups frozen wild blueberries

Directions:
Wash and pick over cranberries. Place in a medium saucepan with water, and sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, stir and simmer for 10 minutes or until cranberries burst.

Slightly mash the cranberries with the back of a wooden spoon to insure all skins are broken. Add blueberries, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. Mix well.

Remove from heat. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Transfer to a bowl, cool slightly and place plastic wrap directly on top of sauce to cover. Refrigerate until chilled.
