Place 2 cups of cranberry juice in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Continue to boil over high heat until liquid is reduced by half. [Note: Alternately you can use 1 cup frozen cranberry juice concentrate and


forego the reduction]. Soften the dried cranberries with the remaining 1/4 cup of juice.





While the juice is reducing, saut茅 the shallots in the olive oil until soft but not brown. In a blender or food processor, puree the reduction and shallots until smooth. Place the mixture in a bowl and whisk in the remaining ingredients including the oil and softened cranberries.
