Simple Port Cranberry Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Empty a 12-ounce bag of fresh or frozen cranberries into a saucepan and transfer 1/2 cup to a small bowl. Add 1 cup sugar, 1 strip orange or lemon zest and 2 tablespoons water to the pan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the cranberries are soft, about 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium and cook until the cranberries burst, about 12 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the reserved cranberries. Add sugar, salt and pepper to taste and cool to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Tip the port and sugar into a pan and bring to the boil. Add the cranberries, then cook for 5 mins for frozen and 8-10 mins for fresh until tender, but holding their shape. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Will keep in the fridge for 1 week or freeze for up to 6 weeks. Thaw for 2 hrs or overnight before serving.

Steps:

• Bring port and cinnamon stick to boil in a saucepan.
• Reduce heat to medium, add dried cranberries and cook 3-5 minutes.
• Add fresh berries, water, sugar.
• Bring back to boil until sugar dissolves, then lower to simmer, cover and cook 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Discard cinnamon stick and serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Combine cranberries, sugar, port, and salt in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove lid. Add cinnamon stick and select Saute function; cook until sauce thickens, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove and discard cinnamon stick.
• Blend sauce with an immersion blender for a smoother consistency. Let cool; sauce will continue to thicken naturally.

Steps:

• In a medium sized saucepan over medium heat, dissolve the sugar in the orange juice. Stir in the cranberries and cook until the cranberries start to pop (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and place sauce in a bowl. Cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the cranberries, brown sugar, orange zest and juice, and port wine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the cranberries have popped and the sauce has thickened, about 15 minutes. Cool, and refrigerate overnight before serving.

Steps:

• Tip 100g light muscovado sugar and 100ml orange juice into a pan, then bring to the boil.
• Stir in 250g fresh or frozen cranberries, then simmer until tender but still holding their shape - this will take about 5 mins if using frozen cranberries or 8-10 mins if using fresh.
• The sauce will thicken as it cools. Will keep in the fridge for 1 week. On the day, bring to room temperature before serving.
