I always loved that my mother and her five sisters, all wonderful cooks, both embraced traditional cooking AND were always willing to take a leap and put a twist on that tradition.  I love cranberries prepared in most forms and don’t wait for a holiday meal to cook and serve them. This recipe came from my Aunt Sylvia.  Thanks for finding this one, Aunt Sy!

Cranberry Sauce

1 pkg fresh cranberries
1 1/2 c sugar (adjustable to taste.  I like mine less sweet)
1 1/4 c port wine
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1/4 c cold water
4 1/2 t corn starch

Combine the first three ingredients in a medium sauce pan.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat and cook for 5 minutes.

Blend the water with the corn starch.  Add to the sauce pan and cook until the mixture is thick enough.
