Cherry Cranberry Sauce for Ham or Pork

From the Editors of Live Right Live Well

Need a tasty sauce for springtime ham or pork tenderloin? This ready-in-a-flash nutritious sauce is even great with beef, poultry and seafood. Cherries are one of the top superfoods, providing antioxidants called anthocyanins, which ensure heart health and ease arthritis pain, and quercetin, a natural antihistamine and anti-inflammatory compound. Cranberries also contain natural compounds beneficial to your heart, mouth, stomach, urinary tract and bones.

Ingredients
1 can (14.5-16 ounces) unsweetened tart cherries
½-1 cup light cranberry juice cocktail

¼ cup brown sugar
⅓ cup dried tart cherries
⅔ cup dried cranberries
1½ teaspoons Dijon mustard

3. In a small bowl, stir cornstarch into ¼ cup juice mixture.
