How to Make Cranberry Salad With Port

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 12 ounces fresh cranberries, 1/2 cup port wine, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup orange juice, and 1 tablespoon orange zest.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Pour the cranberry salad into a serving bowl or a decorative mold.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
