I bought a tin of syrup and a bottle of cranberry juice. If I boil the 2 together, what would happen?

The store was sold out and I didn't know how to make it, so I thought I could boil the syrup and gently add the the cranberry juice to make it into a sauce, is that right?

You'd have to boil it quite a while. You might be able to thicken it with pectin to get a close approximation of jellied cranberry sauce, though.

You could also substitute chutney for cranberry sauce, if cranberry sauce is not available.

That should not work. You really need to have fresh whole cranberries to make cranberry sauce from.

Here is a simple recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Cranberry-Sauce/Detail.aspx

If you really want to use the ingredients you bought, you will need a thickening agent. Other than pectin, which was already suggested, you could try using unflavored gelatin. I'm worried that if you heated up the syrup, that it would harden and become a hard candy-like texture.

Good luck.
