- pinch cayenne pepper — (trust me! Don’t skip it)
In the bottom of a medium pot, place wine and sweeteners. (You can use whatever combo of sweeteners you prefer equal to about 1 1/4 cup sugar). Bring to a simmer and add Cranberries. Bring again to simmer, and add the remaining ingredients. Simmer approximately 10 minutes or until all cranberries are popped and soft. Remove from heat, add 2 to 4 ice cubes. Stir until melted and let cool. Or you can add 1/4 cup cold water instead of ice cubes. The best, tastiest cranberry sauce I’ve ever had!
