How to Make Cranberry Port Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup port wine and 1 cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 1/2 cup dried cranberries (or a mix of dried cherries and golden raisins) and simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
- Add 1/2 cup fresh cranberries (or other berries like raspberries or blueberries), 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture back to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened and the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Remove from heat and discard the cinnamon stick. Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature before serving. The flavors will deepen as it cools.
