I never cared for cranberry sauce but I made this for Christmas dinner and everybody including me loved it.

Oh, my, this is wonderful! Like others, I made with apple juice rather than wine, although I'd like to try again with wine for comparison. It's nothing like a traditional cranberry sauce ... it's sweet, but with the tart bite from the cranberries, too. Suspect it would be wonderful over ice cream or spongecake ... or both! Anxious to taste it on the turkey on Thanksgiving.

Really good with the raspberries. I used hard cider instead of Merlot however.

LOVE this recipe. Have been using it for a few years and it is always a hit. I use only 3/4 merlot, and 1/4 cup OJ. Also add in a little orange zest. Delish!

Delicious and easy! I served this for Thanksgiving and even those who don't usually enjoy cranberries loved this! The raspberries give it a sweet kick.

Yummy! Substituted apple cider (for the kiddie's palates) as suggested in another review. I wish it had been a little thicker, but that's just my preference. It tasted amazing and was so easy. I think this will be our new holiday cranberry sauce.

Very good! I just made this for a huge Christmas party I'm hosting tomorrow and it turned out excellent! Here are the changes I made to the recipe: I used apple juice instead of the Merlot...b/c several of my guests are expecting. Also, I used half white sugar and half brown sugar...just my own preference. Finally, I added 1/2 t. vanilla and 1/4 t. cinnamon to the mixture while it was cooking. I can't taste the cinnamon much but the vanilla really added some great flavor. Great recipe as is...or altered a bit!

I had really high hopes for this, but it never quite lived up to them. I made this the day before, and it was definitely better cold the second day, but even after adding more sugar, it was too tart for my tastes and was just okay.

This is an excellent recipe for an interesting twist on Cranberry sauce! I used 1 cup of apple cider instead of the Merlot. Everyone passed up the traditional sauce to have mine!!

One word: Amazing. My dad hates cranberry sauce, but I made him try it since we usually just have the stuff from the can, and he LOVED it! My brother started putting it on everything, and when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING. Rolls, turkey, sweet potatoes, even apple pie. I used apple juice in place of the Merlot and it turned out fantastic.
