Cranberry Sauce with Port and Oranges

Delicious on a holiday table. I especially like the variation with walnuts and oranges. An inexpensive port works nicely here. Adapted from a recipe in Gourmet.

Ingredients

• 1 (12 ounce) bag cranberries
• 1 1⁄2 cups sugar

Directions

1. In a large saucepan combine the cranberries,the sugar, the Port, the zest and the orange juice.
2. Simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 15 or 20 minutes or until the berries burst and the mixture has thickened.
