Red Wine Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients

  • 12 oz. fresh cranberries
  • 1¼ cups sugar
  • 1 cup dry red wine
  • 1 orange (zest and juice)
  • 1 cinnamon stick

Directions

  1. In a medium pot, toss the cranberries and sugar to combine. Pour the red wine over the cranberries and heat over medium heat.
  2. Grate the zest away from the orange and chop it finely. Cut the orange in half and squeeze the juice into the pot.
  3. Add the cinnamon stick and the orange zest and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst, 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. Cool the mixture to room temperature before serving.

Notes

  • Can be made sugar free. Complete recipe as written, substituting a sugar substitute in place of the granulated sugar (I used Splenda). I would probably increase the sugar substitute to 1 1/2 c. because sugar substitutes tend to not taste as sweet as regular sugar, even when they say to substitute it 1-for-1. You will likely need to add a bit of cornstarch for thickener because without the sugar the sauce does not thicken as it should. I did 2 t. of cornstarch for the recipe and that seemed to work.
