Cranberry-Apple Merlot Sauce November, 2005 Makes about 3 cups / Traditional cranberry sauce often lacks one thing—spice! This recipe uses plenty, and the fruity Merlot balances out the tart cranberries. If it’s too tart for you, use a sweeter apple like Fuji in place of the Granny Smith. Organic wine suggestion: Frey Vineyards Merlot. 2 cups Merlot 1. Combine first 6 ingredients (Merlot through cinnamon sticks) in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook over low heat for 15 minutes. PER SERVING (1/4 cup): 120 cal, 2% fat cal, 0g fat, 0g sat fat, 0mg chol, 0g protein, 30g carb, 3g fiber, 43mg sodium |
