By Flyer920

In this version of cranberry sauce, the sweet-tartness of the cranberries is enhanced with the addition of port, orange juice and orange zest.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup ruby port
• Three 1-by-3-inch strips of orange zest, cut into thin matchsticks
• 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
• 12 ounces fresh cranberries
• 3/4 cup sugar

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the port with the orange zest and orange juice and bring to a boil. Add the cranberries and sugar and simmer over moderately low heat until the sauce is jamlike, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and serve warm or at room temperature.
