Sure, you can have one of those silly, jiggly mounds of cranberry sauce still shaped like the can it came in, but why not delight in fresh cranberries seasoned with tasty port, courtesy of Bon Appetit and Epicurious?
Cranberry Sauce with Port and Cinnamon
Ingredients:
1 cup ruby Port
2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half
1 cup dried cranberries
1 12-ounce bag of fresh cranberries
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
- Bring the port and cinnamon to a boil in a heavy saucepan. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add dried cranberries, simmer until slightly softened (about 3 minutes). Then add the fresh cranberries, water, and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until sauce thickens, the color darkens, and the berries collapse -- stirring often (about 20 minutes).
- Transfer sauce to bowl, remove cinnamon sticks.
