Cranberry Sauce with Cognac

This is a spicy variation on traditional cranberry sauce.

Ingredients

Makes 1 1/4 cups

  • 2 cups fresh or defrosted frozen cranberries
  • 3 tablespoons Cognac
  • 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 3 whole allspice berries
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 4 whole black peppercorns
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
  • Cinnamon stick, (1/2-inch piece)

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, cognac, sugar, and orange juice. Place allspice, cloves, peppercorns, red-pepper flakes, and cinnamon stick in a double layer of cheesecloth; bundle it up, tie with kitchen string, and add to saucepan.
  2. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook, stirring often, until syrupy, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard bundle, and transfer mixture to a bowl, let cool, and refrigerate until needed.
