Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Fresh cranberries
- 0.5 cup Port wine
- 0.5 cup Water
- 6 pieces Dried figs
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 Fresh rosemary sprig
- 1 tsp Orange zest
- 2 tbsp Orange juice
- 0.125 tsp Salt
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and set aside.
Quarter the dried figs and set them aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the port wine, water, and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the cranberries, dried figs, and rosemary sprig to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Simmer the mixture for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce begins to thicken.
Remove the saucepan from heat and discard the rosemary sprig.
Stir in the orange zest, orange juice, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Allow the cranberry sauce to cool slightly before transferring it to a serving dish or storage container. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite holiday dishes. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
