Step 1

Place all the ingredients in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil over high heat.

Step 2

Reduce heat to medium and simmer the sauce until the cranberries burst and the sauce begins to thicken. This should take about 5- 10 minutes.

Step 3

When the sauce is cooked remove the cinnamon stick and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 4

Pour the sauce into a fine sieve placed over a mixing bowl and push it through with a spatula or the back of a large spoon. Continue working until all you have left in the strainer is skin and pulp and all the liquid is in the bowl.

Step 5

You should have a ruby red, glossy syrup.
