Cranberry Sauce Recipe : Emeril Lagasse

One of my favorite holiday recipes

Ingredients

• 2 cups cranberries
• Juice and chopped zest of 1 orange
• 1/4 cup Port
• 1/2 cup sugar, or more if needed
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions

In a small saucepan combine cranberries, orange juice and zest, port, sugar and cinnamon. Bring 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 tablespoon water. Whisk cornstarch mixture into cranberry sauce and cook, whisking, until sauce thickens. Taste and add more sugar, if necessary.
