Sweet and Tart Cranberry Blueberry Sauce (Free of Top 8 Allergens)

In the blink of an eye, another Christmas has passed. As I age, it seems that each year goes by faster and faster. Time becomes more valuable and with a million things to do, it's hard for one thing to capture my attention, let alone begging me to make it right away.

I saw a recipe on Pinterest for a Cranberry Blueberry Sauce and it definitely beckoned me to make it right away. I had all the ingredients on hand and the execution of this recipe could not be simpler. Even better is the fact that this sauce is so versatile. It can be used as a topping on pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or as an accompaniment to protein like turkey or chicken.

Ingredients
2/3 cup white sugar
1 cup water
3 cups whole fresh cranberries
1-1/2 cups frozen blueberries
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp fresh lemon zest

Directions
1. Place all the ingredients in a medium sized pot, mix thoroughly and bring to a boil.

2. Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium low. Stir occasionally and simmer partially covered for 20 to 30 minutes.
