  • cups cranberries fresh or frozen
  • ½ cup apple finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2/3 cup high-bush blueberries fresh or frozen

  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • Pinch allspice

Instructions

Cook, uncovered, over medium-low heat, stirring periodically throughout the cooking process for about 8 minutes then add the blueberries and spices.
