Ingredients

  • 1 package (12 ounces) fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1-1/4 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup port wine or grape juice
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, cook cranberries, sugar and wine over medium heat just until berries begin to pop, 10-12 minutes. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into cranberry mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until berries pop and sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes. Serve warm or cold. Refrigerate leftovers.
Sugared Cranberries
Heat 3 tablespoons light corn syrup in microwave until warm; gently toss with 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, allowing excess syrup to drip off. Toss in 1/3 cup sugar to coat. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set, about 1 hour.
