Ingredients

20 ounces frozen or fresh cranberries (about 4½ cups)

10 ounces frozen dark sweet cherries (about 2 cups)

1¼ cups (packed) brown sugar

½ cup apple cider

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

½ cup bourbon

Method

Bring cranberries, cherries, brown sugar, cider, and pepper to a boil over high heat in a medium saucepan. Cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, then stir in bourbon. Reduce heat, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring often and pushing fruit against the side of the pan with the back of a wooden spoon to break apart slightly, until thick and syrupy, about 25 minutes more. Let cool completely.

Sauce can be made 5 days ahead; cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
