Cranberries and Port Wine Condiment

Description: This is a delicious condiment that my father-in-law in Chicago makes for our Thanksgiving Feast every year. Port and crystalized ginger give it pungent flavors, therefore most adults love it, most children do not.

Ingredients:

• 12 ounces fresh cranberries
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 cup port wine
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons slivered crystallized ginger

Steps:

1. Wash cranberries and place in a pot with the sugar, port and cinnamon.
2. Bring to a boil over high heat.
3. Reduce heat and boil gently, uncovered, until berries begin to pop (about 5 minutes).
4. Stir in the slivered ginger.
5. Remove from heat and chill overnight.
6. Keeps in the refrigerator for about one week (if there is any leftover).
