Port Wine Cranberry Sauce

This Cranberry Sauce with Port Wine is an easy way to add a touch of elegance to your holiday table. Fresh cranberries simmer with Ruby Port, a splash of balsamic, black pepper, honey, and optional herbs, creating a fruity, sweet-tart sauce with a savory depth. Make it ahead and serve it as a side for turkey or ham, or a unique addition to holiday cheese boards.
