How to Make Port Cranberry Sauce

  1. Zest and juice one orange. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of ruby port wine with the orange zest and orange juice.
  2. Add 12 ounces (about 3 cups) fresh cranberries and ¾ cup granulated sugar to the saucepan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce has thickened to a jam-like consistency (about 25 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to two weeks.
