Cranberry flavor shines through in this cranberry sauce where cranberries are simmered with red wine and ginger, and sweetened with maple syrup and honey.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 c. fresh cranberries
- 1/3 c. dry red wine I used Shiraz
- 1/3 c. orange juice
- 1/3 c. water
- 1/2 c. pure maple syrup
- 1/4 c. honey
- 1 tsp. grated fresh ginger
- 1 cinnamon stick 3-4 in.
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a medium sauce pan, stir together, and bring to a boil over med-high heat, stirring frequently.
- Reduce heat to med-low and simmer for about 10 minutes until cranberries soften and start to "pop", stirring frequently. Cranberries will burst open and the sauce will thicken as it cooks.
- Remove from heat and chill in the refrigerator overnight. Remove cinnamon stick before serving.
- Makes about 2 1/3 c. cranberry sauce.
