How to Make Cranberries In Port Wine Sauce

  1. Combine cranberries, port wine, sugar, orange juice, orange zest, cinnamon, and cloves in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
  5. Serve warm over your favorite dessert, roast, or enjoy with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
