Chef's Notes

Cranberries can be substituted for other seasonal berries you find in the store. We find that equal parts blackberries and blueberries work well together.
If no fresh berries are available, frozen, then thawed berries may be substituted.
This sauce is very versatile, consider using your favorite fruit or roasted vegetable as a substitute.
