Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lb fresh cranberries (about 2 cups)
  • 1 cup sugar , plus
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups red wine or 1 1/2 cups cranberry juice
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

  1. Add cranberries, sugar, wine, water, and salt to a large saucepan.
  2. Stir over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a simmer.
  3. Continue cooking for 2 minutes or until the cranberries pop and begin to soften.
  4. Remove pan from heat and allow mixture to cool slightly.
  5. Puree mixture in a blender (may need to do in batches).
  6. Pass the puree through a food mill to remove the skins (you may use a strainer but the puree will be thick and will need to be rubbed through, using a large wooden spoon).
  7. Cover and refrigerate the mixture until cold or overnight.
  8. Stir the chilled mixture; freeze in 1 or 2 batches in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s directions.
  9. When done, the sorbet will be soft but ready to eat; for firmer sorbet, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze several hours.

  11. *Cranberry Orange Sorbet—substitute orange juice for the wine; add 1 tablespoon grated orange zest before freezing; proceed as directed.
