Cranberry Sauce with Orange and Port
My entire life I've never liked cranberry sauce. Ever. Until I came up with this particular concoction. It's so good, you could eat it on ice cream. In fact, I have. It's fast, easy, and incredibly delicious. Plus it's a nice excuse to buy a bottle of Port.
Ingredients
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup + 1 T Port
2 Clementine oranges (you can use Satsuma, but Clementine are better)
12 oz fresh cranberries
1 apple, finely chopped
Method
1. Remove zest from oranges, set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan place the sugar and 1/4 cup of the Port. Squeeze the juice from the 2 oranges into the pan. Place on low heat and stir until sugar is dissolved.
3. Add cranberries, apple and orange zest. Cook over medium heat, stirring occassionally, 10-20 minutes or until soft and thick.
4. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining 1 T Port.
For fun, give each person (or every two people) a small serving in a vintage glass punch cup with just enough sauce for one or two. It'll save on passing dishes and add cottage charm to your table.
And don't forget to eat the leftovers over ice cream.
Enjoy!
