Thanksgiving – Blood Orange Cranberries with Cinnamon

1/2 cup Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar

½ cup Blood Orange Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half

1 cup dried cranberries (about 6 ounces)

1 12-ounce bag fresh cranberries

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup honey

Directions

Whisk together the Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar and Blood Orange EVOO. Pour into a pot with broken cinnamon sticks and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer mixture for about 5 minutes.

Add dried cranberries to saucepan; simmer until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add fresh cranberries, 3/4 cup water, and honey; bring to boil, stirring until honey dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until cranberry sauce thickens and is darker in color and berries collapse, stirring often, about 20 minutes. Transfer sauce to bowl; cool. Discard cinnamon sticks. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
