There's nothing a little merlot can't fix, including cranberry sauce. Forget store-bought, because you just can't buy this at a store. Relax, make some cranberry sauce, drink a little wine, and perhaps, put some in the cranberry sauce.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup merlot, or any dark red wine
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
One 12-ounce package fresh cranberries
1 cup toasted coarsely chopped walnuts

DIRECTIONS

Put all of the ingredients except for the walnuts in a saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until the liquid becomes thick and syrupy, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the walnuts.
