Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) package of fresh cranberries
  • ¾ cup fruity red wine (we like Pinot Noir. Alternatively you can use rosé wine)
  • ½ cup cane sugar
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
  • ½ teaspoon orange zest
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Heat: In a small sauce pan over a medium low heat add cranberries, wine, sugar, orange juice, zest, and cinnamon. Stir to incorporate.
  • Simmer: Let the sauce come to a simmer while stirring for about 15 minutes. Using a potato masher, crush the cranberries and continue to stir for another 15 minutes on a low heat simmer.
  • Cool: Remove from heat and cool. Can be made two days in advance for a holiday meal.

Notes

You can make this up to one week in advance.
