2/3 cup Sugar
3/4 cup Dry red wine
1/2 Cinnamon stick (1 1/2 inches)
1 Package Fresh cranberries (about 12 oz.)
1/2 Tbsp Tangerine, clementine or orange zest, or more to taste
DIRECTIONS
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, red wine and cinnamon stick; bring to a slow boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the wine is reduced slightly. Add the cranberries and zest. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the cranberries are soft and the sauce has thickened. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Amazing with turkey!
