SG, Thanks for the request and absolutely I will get the recipe to you! :-) Give me a few days to pull it together, as it exists only on notepad scratchings and just one "dry run" to date. My whole theory on cranberry sauce is simple. Use lots of ingredients that taste better than cranberries, lol. :-) I usually make a version that is light and fruity with lots of chopped apple, pear and white raisins, and wanted to change it up this year. I'll get back to you shortly. I like Chianti and will look for that one, so thanks for the tip.

Ok SG, Here ya go!! :-) This is a non-traditional cranberry sauce - darker, richer and "warmer", thanks to the herb/spice mix, intentionally crafted more for the adult palate. Just made my second trial run, and I'm very pleased with the result, so give it a shot and let me know what you think: 1 1/2 cups - fresh cranberries 1/2 cup - dried cherries 1/2 cup chopped, dried dates 1 cup ginger ale 1/2 cup orange juice 3 TBSP - pomegranate infused balsamic vinegar 2 TBSP - cognac 1/2 tsp - dried thyme 1/4 tsp - kosher salt 1/8 tsp allspice 1/4 tsp - cinnamon 1/4 tsp - white pepper 1ea. - 3 1/2 oz. pkg dried blueberries (approx 3/4 cup) Add all of the ingredients EXCEPT the blueberries, into a blender and mix with a few long pulses until the cranberries are all well-chopped. Pour into a sauce pan (I prefer non-stick, due to the high sugar content), add the blueberries, stir and bring to a boil. Cover and turn down to low and cook 15 min. Then, uncover and simmer to desired consistency, approx. another 30 min, stirring occasionally. Make a day or two ahead and chill. Serve in a bright white bowl - lovely and tasty! Especially well-paired with the turkey dark meat, duck, etc.
