Cranberry Bruschetta

This savory cranberry sauce is simply scrumptious spread atop toasty slices of bread, and also goes well as an accompaniment with meats such as poultry and pork.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups Ocean Spray® Fresh or Frozen Cranberries
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced into rings
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
1 teaspoon oregano
1 (8-ounce) loaf French bread
Extra virgin olive oil

Cooking Directions:

1. Combine cranberries, sugar and red wine vinegar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add onion and garlic, return to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer on low for 10 minutes or until cranberries pop.
2. Pour into a glass bowl. Stir in basil and oregano. Cool at room temperature.
   
3. Cut bread diagonally into 16 (3/4-inch) slices; brush both sides with oil.
4. Broil each side for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Top each slice with cranberry mixture.
   

Makes 16 servings.
