Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 350 grams fresh cranberries
- 120 milliliters port wine
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 80 milliliters orange juice
- 1 stick cinnamon stick
- 60 milliliters water
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries under cold water and discard any that are soft or damaged.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the port wine, orange juice, water, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.
Add the fresh cranberries, orange zest, and cinnamon stick to the saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Discard the cinnamon stick and let the sauce cool to room temperature.
Refrigerate the sauce for at least 2 hours before serving to enhance the flavor. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
