Ingredients
  

  • Zest and juice of 1 orange
  • 1 cup sugar
  • Pinch salt
  • 12 oz bag fresh cranberries rinsed
  • 1 tsp finely grated peeled ginger
  • 1/4 Cup Port Wine

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, heat 1/2 cup water with the orange zest, orange juice, sugar, ginger and salt over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes.
