Categories dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups fresh cranberries
2 1/2 cups red wine (any red wine is fine, but do shy away from one with too much alcohol, as it may affect the freezing process)
4 whole allspice
2 cinnamon sticks
2 whole cloves
1 orange, zest peeled in strips and juice
1 vanilla bean

Steps:

Combine the cranberries, red wine, 2 1/2 cups water, allspice, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, orange zest, orange juice and vanilla bean in a saucepot. Cook over medium heat for 20 to 30 minutes. The cranberries will have become very soft and the liquid will be reduced by about 20-percent.
Strain the mixture through a sieve fine enough to catch the spices, pushing lightly to extract some of the cranberry pulp. Chill the sorbet mixture thoroughly and spin in an ice cream maker until frozen.
