Dried and fresh cranberries are simmered in Port for a not-too-sweet, grown-up take on the classic. Ingredients:
1 cup ruby port |
2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half |
1 cup dried cranberries (about 6 ounces) |
1 12-ounce bag fresh cranberries |
3/4 cup water |
1/4 cup sugar |
Directions:
1. Bring ruby Port and broken cinnamon sticks to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium and simmer mixture 5 minutes.
2. Add dried cranberries to saucepan; simmer until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add fresh cranberries, 3/4 cup water, and sugar; bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until cranberry sauce thickens and is darker in color and berries collapse, stirring often, about 20 minutes. Transfer sauce to bowl; cool. Discard cinnamon sticks. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
