Cranberry Orange Cherry Sauce

Ingredients

1 (12 oz) bag fresh cranberries
1/3 cup dried sweet red cherries
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
pinch of salt
2 heaping tablespoons orange and elderflower marmalade or orange marmalade of your choice
1 ounce Kirsch, optional
4 oranges, for orange cups

Cooking Directions

In a 3-quart saucepan, mix cranberries, dried cherries, sugar, water and pinch of salt. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer uncovered 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cranberries have popped open. Remove from heat, add orange marmalade and kirsch if using. Cool 1 hour. Spoon into bowl and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
When ready to serve, spoon cranberry orange cherry sauce into orange cups or serve in a serving dish.

How to make Orange Cups:

With a small serrated knife, score a line around the middle of each orange.
Then using the line as a guide, cut each orange in half in a zipzag pattern to make a decorative edge. Loosen the pulp from the shell; cut around the inside of each orange half with a knife.
Using a small spoon, carefully remove and discard the pulp, leaving the orange shell intact.

Kirsch:
Kirschwasser [KEERSH; KEERSH-vah-ser]
From the German Kirsch ("cherry") and Wasser ("water"),
This clear BRANDY is distilled from cherry juice and pits.
In cookery, it's most prominently known as a flavorful addition to:
FONDUE and CHERRIES JUBILEE.
