Red Wine Cranberry Sauce

• portions: 8 servings
• temps actif: 20 minutes
• temps total: 20 minutes

Ingrédients

⅔ cups sugar

¾ cups dry red wine

½ cinnamon stick (optional)

1 (12-ounce) package fresh cranberries (about 3 cups)

2 long strips tangerine, clementine or orange zest (optional)

Instructions

Step 1

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, wine and, if desired, cinnamon and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the wine has reduced slightly, about 4 minutes. Add the cranberries and, if desired, the zest. Simmer until the cranberries soften and the sauce thickens, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat; remove and discard the cinnamon and/or the zest, if using. Set aside to cool for at least several minutes and up to several hours. Serve warm or at room temperature.
