Ingredients
  

  • 1 Bottle Oak Creek Vineyards "The Fire"
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 12 Ounces Fresh Cranberries

Instructions
 

  • Open that bottle of Fire and pour yourself a glass.
  • Take a sip followed by a deep breath. It's just the holidays, you'll be ok.
  • Pour sugar into a pot then measure out one cup of Fire and add to the sugar.
  • Take another sip of wine.
  • Turn the stove to medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves.
  • Sip some more wine.
  • Once the sugar has dissolved add the cranberries, turn the heat to low, and let them simmer until they start popping. You can cover them with a lid, this seems to help them steam up better.
  • Sip that wine while you wait for the popping and pour another glass when necessary.
  • As the berries are popping use a rubber scraper or something similar to smash up those berries.
  • You guessed it, sip more wine as you smash the berries.
  • Once the berries are mostly mashed up remove the pot from the heat, transfer them to a dish and allow them to cool. The sauce will thicken up as it cools.
  • If you have some triple sec lying around you could toss a splash of that in there too to add a little something extra.
  • Congratulations, you have a side dish! Now, go find a quiet corner and enjoy what's left of that bottle of wine, you earned it!
