Steps

  1. 1
    Dissolve the sugar in the water and orange juice over low heat before the fruit goes in — sugar added to the berries later will not dissolve evenly.
  2. 2
    Add the cinnamon stick and star anise and bring to a simmer.
  3. 3
    Tip in the cranberries and cook 8-10 minutes. You will hear them pop.
  4. 4
    Stop while about a quarter of the berries are still whole. Cooked to a uniform purée it loses all its character.
  5. 5
    Stir in the orange zest and the port if using.
  6. 6
    Remove the whole spices and cool completely — it thickens considerably as it cools, so do not be tempted to reduce it further while hot.
  7. 7
    Keeps two weeks refrigerated and freezes well.
