CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH PINOT NOIR

Some of the best wine on the planet comes from Oregon, and with this recipe Jenn Louis, the chef behind Lincoln Restaurant and Sunshine Tavern in Portland, has found a way to weave it into the Thanksgiving feast: as a boon companion to cranberries. "Many deep red wines, or port, can overwhelm the punchy berry," said Ms. Louis. "Instead, Oregon pinot noir keeps the cranberry sauce bright and clean." The recipe here doesn't hold back; it is shot through with allspice, cloves, peppercorns, rosemary, cinnamon, vanilla and honey, in a mix that calls to mind the rusticity and abundance of the Pacific Northwest.

Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups Pinot Noir
12 dried figs, diced
3/4 cup sugar
3 strips orange zest
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
4 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Bring the wine to a simmer in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat, add the figs, and let soak until soft, about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving the wine and figs separately.
  • 2. Combine the sugar, 1 1/2 cups water, the reserved wine, orange zest, and ginger in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the sugar has completely melted, a minute or two. Add half of the cranberries and cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries have popped and are very soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in the remaining cranberries and the soaked figs and cook for 5 minutes longer. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • 3. Discard the orange zest and scrape the chutney into a serving bowl. Serve at room temperature or chilled. The chutney can be prepared 24 hours in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh cranberries: Look for cranberries that are plump, firm, and deep red in color. Avoid cranberries that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Rinse the cranberries before using: This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a variety of sweeteners: In addition to sugar, you can also use honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar to sweeten your cranberry sauce. Experiment with different sweeteners to find the one that you like best.
  • Add spices to taste: Common spices that are used to flavor cranberry sauce include cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. You can also add other spices that you enjoy, such as cardamom or allspice.
  • Cook the cranberry sauce until it reaches your desired consistency: Some people prefer a smooth sauce, while others prefer a sauce with more texture. Cook the sauce for a shorter amount of time if you want a smoother sauce, and cook it for a longer amount of time if you want a sauce with more texture.

Conclusion:

Cranberry sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes. It is a classic Thanksgiving side dish, but it can also be served with roasted meats, poultry, or fish. Cranberry sauce is also a great addition to sandwiches, wraps, and salads. With its tart and tangy flavor, cranberry sauce is sure to please everyone at your table.
