How to Make Spiced Cranberry And Zinfandel Sauce
- Combine 1 cup Zinfandel wine, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 tablespoon grated orange zest, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken slightly and the sugar dissolves completely. Stir occasionally.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
- Return the strained mixture to the saucepan.
- Add 12 ounces (approximately 1 1/2 cups) fresh or frozen cranberries to the saucepan.
- Cook over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the cranberries burst and begin to soften. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 20-30 minutes, or until the sauce has reached your desired consistency. Stir occasionally.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely before serving. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
