Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 340 grams fresh or frozen cranberries
- 180 milliliters port wine
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 60 milliliters orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 stick cinnamon stick
- 0.25 teaspoons ground allspice
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries under cold water if using fresh. If frozen, no need to thaw.
In a medium saucepan, combine the port wine, granulated sugar, orange juice, and orange zest. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
Add the cranberries, cinnamon stick, ground allspice, and salt to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cranberries will burst and soften, thickening the mixture.
Remove the cinnamon stick and discard it once the condiment reaches your desired consistency.
Allow the condiment to cool to room temperature. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Transfer the condiment to a sterilized jar or airtight container and refrigerate. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
