Cooking the cranberries in a spiced syrup keeps them whole and gives the sauce a more interesting texture. A touch of salt balances the sweetness of this condiment.
Ingredients
- 1 navel orange
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup dry red wine or apple cider
- 1 stick cinnamon
- 2 star anise, optional)
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 pkg fresh cranberries
Preparation
Peel rind (not including pith) off orange and cut into very thin strips (or use zester); set aside.
Squeeze orange juice into saucepan; add sugar, wine, cinnamon, star anise (if using), cloves, salt and cayenne. Bring to boil over medium heat; boil until syrupy and reduced to about 1/4 cup (50 mL), about 18 minutes.
