Preparation Steps

1
Caramelize Onions

In a heavy stainless steel stockpot, heat 1 oz. canola oil over medium heat. Add 6 oz. small diced onions and sauté until golden brown and caramelized.

2
Simmer Cranberries & Dried Fruit

Add 2 oz. sushi vinegar, 3 pureed navel oranges, 48 oz. fresh cranberries, 8 oz. pomegranate juice, 15 oz. golden raisins, 11 oz. dried mixed fruit (pears, apricots, prunes), 5 oz. dried cherries, 8 oz. pure maple syrup, 4 oz. Marsala wine, and 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the fresh cranberries burst and the dried fruits soften into a rich glaze.

3
Finish with Blueberries & RC Flavorings

Once cranberries burst and mixture thickens, fold in 2 cups Wild Maine Blueberries and the RC Flavorings: ½ tsp. RC Cinnamon Flavor, 2 tsp. RC Ginger Puree, ¼ tsp. vanilla extract, 1 tsp. RC Blood Orange Extract, and ½ tsp. RC Almond Flavor. Stir gently to integrate without breaking the blueberries, remove from heat, and refrigerate.

Chef Notes & Flavor Customization

Aromatic Extract Advantage: Incorporating RC Blood Orange Extract and RC Almond Flavor off heat preserves delicate essential oils, providing a lingering bakery aroma and bright citrus top notes that withstand cold storage.

Chef's "Umamify" Tip: To balance the natural fruit tartness with subtle savory depth, simply add 1 tsp. RC Umami Sensations® Mirepoix Powder and 1 tsp. RC Umami Sensations® Red Miso Powder into the pot before simmering.

Serving Ideas: Magnificent alongside roasted turkey, glazed ham, roasted pork loin, charcuterie boards, or warmed over brie wheel appetizers.
