Homemade cranberry sauce

I got this recipe from my Aunt Traci and it is soooooo good I thought I would share it. This was also my first experience with homemade cranberry sauce and I am now a convert.

2 Cups Cranberries
Juice and Chopped Zest from 1 orange
1 Apple chopped small
1/4 Port (Optional)
1/2 c sugar, or more if needed
1 Tsp Cinnamon
1 Tablespoon Cornstarch

In a small saucepan combine cranberries, apples, OJ and zest, port, sugar and cinnamon to a boil. Reduce heat to simmering and cook until cranberries are tender, stirring occasionally. In a small cup make a slurry with cornstarch and 1 Tbsp of Water, Whisk cornstarch mixture into cranberries sauce and cook whisking until sauce thickens. Taste and add more sugar if necessary.

This is now a staple recipe in my house. I will also play with it by using half white and half brown sugar. Replacing Port with Gran Mariner. Adding pears and dried fruit. The possibilities are endless. Do you have a cranberry sauce recipes? I would love to hear about it.

Oh and if you read this, Thanks Traci!
