Equipment

Ingredients

  • 500g / 4 cups cranberries fresh or frozen
  • 300g / 1 cups sugar
  • 500ml / 2 cups water
  • 1 mandarin orange zest and juice
  • 125ml / 1/2 cup port wine or marsala wine

Instructions

  • In a medium pot combine the cranberries, sugar, water, juice and zest of one mandarin orange or clementine. Boil on medium heat until the cranberries pop, then mash them lightly directly in the pot with the pack of a spoon and boil for 5 minutes longer.
  • Add port or marsala wine and cook for 5 minutes longer. Take off the heat and cool completely. The sauce will thicken as it cools and will get even thicker when refrigerated.
