Source of Recipe


Chef Dena Peterson, Cafe Modern






List of Ingredients



• 2 cups dry red wine, such as Cabernet or Merlot
  
• 1 cup sugar
  
• 1 cup (packed) brown sugar
  
• 6 whole cloves
  
• 2 cinnamon sticks
  
• One 3 x 1-inch strip orange peel, any white pith cut away
  
• One 12-ounce bag fresh cranberries
  






Instructions



1. Combine all ingredients except cranberries in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil; cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced to 1-3/4 cups, about 15 minutes.
   
   
2. Strain syrup into a large saucepan, discarding spices. Add cranberries to the syrup and cook over medium heat until berries burst, about 12 minutes. Cool. Transfer sauce to a covered bowl. Refrigerate until cold. (Can be made up to 1 week ahead.)
   
   Yield: About 3 cups
