Cranberry cherry sauce is a traditional accompaniment with roots in North American and European cuisine, especially popular during the Christmas season. In different Latin American countries, this sauce is also known and appreciated, although in some places it is simply called "cranberry sauce" or "sour cranberry jam." Its sweet and sour flavor perfectly complements meats such as turkey, chicken, and ham, making each dish more special.
The cranberry, the main ingredient of this sauce, is a small, dark red fruit that grows in temperate zones of North and South America. The sauce is traditionally prepared with fresh or frozen cranberries, sugar, and a touch of acidity that can come from different ingredients such as wine or mustard, providing a unique flavor balance. Its popularity has spread in Latin America thanks to international culinary influence and its versatility in different recipes.
