Serves 6 to 8

Ingredients

1 (12 oz) package of fresh or frozen cranberries (about 4 cups)

1½ cups white granulated sugar

1 Tbsp finely grated orange zest

½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice

¼ cup Volcanic Hills Gamay Noir

Method

Preheat oven to 325°F.

Rinse cranberries and pour into an oven-safe and non-reactive baking dish.

Stir in orange zest, orange juice, sugar and the wine.

Place in the oven and bake for approximately one hour, stirring after 30 minutes. You want the mixture to simmer slightly so that the sugar can dissolve.

Remove from oven and let it sit in a cool place until the cranberries gel together. There might be a lot of liquid left, but most of it becomes a syrup as it cools.

Serve warm or cold.
