Ingredients:
- 1 package of fresh or frozen cranberries (about 5 cups)
- 1.5 cups of white granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp orange zest
- 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/4 cup of Volcanic Hills' Gamay Noir
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Rinse cranberries and pour into an oven safe dish.
- Stir in orange zest, orange juice, sugar and the wine.
- Put into the oven and bake for approximately one hour. Stir after 30 minutes. You want the mixture to simmer slightly so that the sugar can melt.
- Let sit in a cool place until the cranberries gel together. There might be a lot of liquid left but most of it should gel into a syrup as it cools.
- Serve warm or cold.
