  • 2 12 oz. Bags fresh cranberries
  • 1 1/2 cups White sugar
  • 1 cup Dark brown sugar

  • 2 tsp. Ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. Ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp. Ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp. Ground allspice

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the berries are popped. Let cool slightly.
