1 cup sugar
1 package (12 ounces) fresh cranberries
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Bring juice to a simmer in a heavy, large saucepan. Remove from heat. Add cherries and let stand 8 minutes. Mix in sugar, then cranberries and cloves. Cook over medium-high heat until cranberries burst, stirring occasionally, about 9 minutes.
