AuthoradminTry this easy and delicious Champagne Cranberry Sauce recipe, it's extra festive for the holidays! Champagne makes everything special, so why not in this fruity sauce!
In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, bring the Champagne and sugar to a low boil until sugar is dissolved.
Add the cranberries and bring to a simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the berries start to pop. Mash them against the sides of the pan so they can release juices.
Once the cranberries are cooked down, add the orange juice, cinnamon & ginger.
You can blend this if you want a smoother sauce or not if you like your cranberry sauce a bit chunky. Pulse a few times until you get the consistency you like best.
Garnish with the orange zest.

I only used 1 cup sugar and a little more cinnamon b/c all I had was Asti Spumante. It was plenty sweet (I don’t like it very sweet), and the orange made it just right.
Sounds like some great alterations to this recipe!! Thanks so much for sharing.
