Cranberry Sauce with Dried Cherries

Dried cherries and fresh cranberries pair beautifully. Cloves are a festive touch.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups cherry cider or black cherry cider or cranberry juice cocktail


• ¾ cup Port


• 1 stick Cinnamon


• 1 package 8-ounce dried tart cherries (about 2 cups)


• 1 cup sugar


• 1 package 12-ounce cranberries


• ¼ teaspoon (generous) ground cloves

Directions:
Bring cider and port to simmer in heavy, large saucepan with cinnamon stick. 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.)
