Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a small saucepan combine cranberries, orange juice and zest, port (1/4 cup + the 2 tablespoons), brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmering and cook until cranberries are tender for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

In a small cup make a slurry with cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water. Whisk cornstarch mixture into cranberry sauce and cook, whisking, until sauce thickens. Taste and add more sugar, if necessary.

I agree with Mike - this is a delicious cranberry sauce! I also didn't add the cornstarch slurry, as the sauce thickened up nicely on it's own. DH couldn't quite put his finger on what the "secret" ingredient was - which turned out to be the port. Will definitely be making this again - it might even be my "go to" recipe for cranberry sauce.

Delicious. I have used orange and cinnamon in cranberry sauce before, but never brown sugar. Nice added flavor. The onlt yhing I would change is to leave out the cornstarch, as it made it a little too thick, and cranberries are full of natural pectin, which thickens it pretty well as it cools. Made for Think Pink event.
