How to Make Cranberry Orange Port Sauce
- Combine 12 ounces fresh cranberries, the zest and juice of 1 large orange, and 1/4 cup port wine in a medium saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the cranberries have softened and burst, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or to taste, depending on your desired sweetness) and an additional 1/4 cup port wine.
- Continue to simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Pour the cranberry sauce into a serving bowl or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
