Add a little zing to your holiday table and serve this spiced cranberry orange sauce. This can be made a few days ahead.

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound fresh cranberries, rinsed and picked through
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • juice and zest of 1 large orange
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 4 cloves
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 cup light red wine (pinot noir is a good choice)

Preparation:

Combine ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cranberries pop and sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let cool. Remove cinnamon, cloves and zest. Pour sauce into a bowl and chill. Serves 10.
