ORANGE PORT CRANBERRY SAUCE

Finely grate zest from 1 orange and set aside. Juice orange into a liquid measuring cup. Add enough port to measure 1 cup total. Pour into a saucepan along with 3/4 cup sugar, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add 1 (12-ounce) bag fresh cranberries and cook, stirring, until cranberries begin to burst, 5 minutes. Simmer, stirring, until liquid is reduced, about 8 to 10 minutes. Turn off heat, stir in zest, and let cool before serving.

Enjoy!

CRANBERRY GINGER PUNCH
