Ingredients

  • 12 ounces fresh cranberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup red wine
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 star anise

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Rinse the cranberries and put them into your 2 quart microwave safe bowl. Add the sugar and wine and stir to combine.
  2. Break the cinnamon stick in half. If it's very thick you may want to use a chef's knife. Add it and the star anise to the bowl.
  3. Cover loosely with a plastic microwave cover or paper towel and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Stir.
  4. Microwave for a final 3 minutes. Be sure to keep a loose cover on your bowl as the cranberries will foam up as they boil.
  5. Stir again and let the bowl cool at room temperature. Then refrigerate until cold, or overnight. Your mulled wine cranberry sauce can be made up to 4 days in advance. Pull out the whole spices before serving.
  6. The cranberry sauce will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • *You can use 1 tablespoon of prepared mulling spice in place of the cinnamon and star anise if you prefer. Be sure to place it in a little pouch or cheesecloth bundle so you can fish it out later.
