Red Wine Cranberry Sauce
We were feeling festive when we started our holiday cooking, but a bottle of wine was a bit more than we wanted to drink. I added half a cup to the cranberry sauce, in place of juice, and a new recipe was born! —Helen Nelander, Boulder Creek, California

I made this for an early Thanksgiving family gathering, and it was a hit! I was nervous, since it was the first time I've ever made cranberry sauce. But it turned out perfectly and tasted delicious. I'll make this again next Thanksgiving!
I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit! I used grape juice in place of the wine, as suggested, and it was absolutely delicious with just the right balance of sweet and tart. The only change I made was to increase the cooking time slightly so the mixture would reduce some more and result in a thicker sauce. My previous cranberry sauce recipe has been permanently replaced!
So, so delicious! I did use coconut sugar. It's so cold hot or cold.
Oh my goodness! Where has THIS recipe been all my life? If you like cranberry sauce you have to try this recipe. It's very easy to make and the red wine gives it a slightly different flavor that is quite delicious! This is my new "go to" cranberry sauce recipe. Five stars for sure.
