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

Cranberry Bruschetta

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

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. Broil each side for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown. Top each slice with cranberry mixture.

Makes 16 servings.
