Mix of 1 pint blueberries,1 pint Raspberries, 2 Green Onion, 2 Lime & 2 Mandarin Orange Juice, White Vinegar, Brown Sugar, Honey, Salt, and a touch of All Spice. Peppers: 2 Fresno, 8 Trinidad Sweet Cherry, 1 7 Pot Primo, 5 CARDI Scorpion, 4 7 Pot Bubblegum.

Cooked down, and then strained. Added 1/4 tsp of Xanthan gum, which gave the perfect consistency. Sanitized all bottles and caps with Star-San. Checked PH <4, and then hot-filled bottles.

Taste: Slight sweet blueberry jam taste upfront, following by lasting full mouth heat. Going to be great on grilled chicken/pork.

Blueberries are very versitile and make great flavour partners. The recent Cran/Blueberry sauce I made recently is going to me enhance in my next batch.
I have been looking for a cranberry sauce. Care to share your recipe and notes for next time?

Here is the recipe I based mine on. I followed the same process in general, but strained the sauce after cooking it down, add 1/4 t Xanthan blended, and then brought it back up to 180F before bottling. I used a blend of peppers I had on hand from my garden.
 
My Version (4 x 150 ml woozy bottles)
Notes: I would only use 1 lime (pH was 3.2). Remove Honey [brown sugar was enough]. Increase peppers by 25% to go from medium to hot [It has a smooth full mouth heat now, but increasing peppers would bring it closer to heartbreaking dawns 1498 (one of my fav)]
 
 
2 limes juice (54 ml)
2 Mandarin orange juice (120 ml)
4 cups blueberries + 4 cups raspberries (641 grams)
2 green onions chopped (29 g)
Honey 2 T
Brown Sugar 1/2 C 
White Vinegar 1/2 C
Sea Salt 1 t
All Spice (ground) 1/4 t
 
Chilies
2 Fresno (150 g)
8 Trinidad Sweet Cherry (30 g)
5 CARDI Scorpion (29 g)

 In this recipe you use T and t for measurements. is this Tablespoon and teaspoon, respectively?
