Preparation Instructions

Combine the orange juice, cranberry juice, honey and star anise, in a saucepan over medium heat.

Bring up to a simmer for about 5 minutes. Once the honey has melted in, add the cranberries, half of the red wine and the Chinese 5 spice.

Simmer for 15 minutes until the cranberries have popped and melded into a thickened sauce. Stir in the rest of the red wine. Taste. Add a pinch more Chinese 5 spice if desired. Remove the Star Anise.

Serve at any temperature.
