How to Make Cabernet Cranberries

  1. Combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Bring the sugar and wine mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Add 12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1 cinnamon stick, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. Return to a boil, stirring constantly.
  4. Reduce heat to low, partially cover the saucepan, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberry skins have popped and the sauce has thickened.
  5. Remove the cinnamon stick and discard.
  6. Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. For a chilled sauce, refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
