Curried Cranberries

At first glance, these flavors might not sound good together. However, the curry flavor is light and adds an interesting dimension to your traditional cranberry sauce for the holidays. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup port wine
  • 3/4 cup orange marmalade
  • 1/3 cup raisins or chopped dates
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1.5 tsp curry powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 bag (12 0z) fresh cranberries
DIRECTIONS:
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F
  • Combine all ingredients except cranberries in the order listed. Use a large bowl.
  • Add the cranberries and mix well.
  • Spray a 2-qt baking dish with cooking spray (canola oil works great...not PAM!)
  • Pour in cranberry mixture and cover with foil.
  • Bake for 50 - 60 minutes (little more if cranberries frozen), until cranberries are soft.
  • Let sit 10 - 15 minutes before serving to thicken slightly.
  • Can be made a day ahead and placed in refrigerator until ready to eat.
