I never thought of cooking cranberry sauce in the Zo but I just might this year. This is the recipe I use. I have always made it on the stove. It's quite simple, doesn't take long and it's very delicious.
Spiced Cranberry Sauce
1 pound fresh cranberries
2 cups sugar
2 cups port wine
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cloves
Wash and pick over cranberries. In 3 quart saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar and port wine. Heat over high heat until sugar is dissolved. Boil, uncovered 4 to 5 minutes (or a little longer) until cranberries have popped and liquid has developed a good red color. Turn off heat, add ground spices and stir well. Cool and serve or pour into small, clean canning jars. Cover. Refrigerate when cooled.
Yields 5+ half pint jars
Don't worry about the alcohol in the wine. It will all cook off while the cranberries simmer.
