Instructions

Step 1

Sort and wash cranberries, discarding any that are rotten or sink in the water.

Step 2

Begin heating a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add cognac and reduce by half. While the cognac is reducing, add ground cardamom, and five spice.

Step 3

Once the cognac is reduced, add cranberries to the pan with sugar, champagne, and orange juice. Use a spatula to stir and combine everything in the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 12-15 minutes.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend on high speed until fully pureed. Pass the puree through a chinois into a bowl. Cover the sauce with plastic wrap and press the wrap onto the cranberry sauce. This will prevent skin from forming. Place the bowl in the refrigerator to cool.
