Submitted by Paulappp

"Adapted from a cheesecake topping recipe from a Saskatoon Berry grower. I suppose blueberries would work, but cut the sugar or mix cranberries in as well. Experiment with the spices."

I serve this with Bar-B-Que boneless short ribs with mashed potatoes and it is delicious. It is very similar to a savory Saskatoon berry sauce I had in a restaurant that was served with bison. That is why I went searching for a similar recipe. This one was perfect. I have made it many times.
