CRANBERRY PORT SAUCE
I love port after dinner, and I love to cook dried fruit with it. This recipe is perfect with the dried berries and the combo of dried and fresh is delicious. in this photo i used dried cherries and golden raisins instead of the dried cranberries, very colorful and tasty.

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.
Tips:
- When selecting fresh cranberries, look for plump, firm berries that are deep red in color. Avoid any berries that are soft, bruised, or have signs of mold.
- To zest an orange, use a citrus zester or a sharp knife to remove the outer peel of the orange in long, thin strips. Avoid pith, the white part of the orange peel, as it can be bitter.
- When measuring dried figs, pack them into the measuring cup to ensure you have the correct amount.
- If you don't have port wine on hand, you can substitute another type of red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot.
- To make a vegan version of this sauce, omit the honey and use a plant-based butter substitute.
