We have the most amazing citrus cranberry sauce that is family friendly which is perfect on, well, almost anything really. But we wanted to do something fun with wine, and came up with this Adult Port Cranberry Sauce. Bazinga!
It's Canadian Thanksgiving! My sister and brother-in-law are coming to visit!
Coming to visit where, you may be asking – if you remember that I am currently homeless, aka “home-ful“. I have the greatest people in my life. My friend Pam is lending us her place for a Thanksgiving weekend.
My sister, Devi, and I love cooking and creating together! You may remember that she is the reason that I got into the paleo lifestyle in the first place. To be honest, most of our family get-togethers are food-centric, regardless of anything else that is going on. Or maybe that's just where my focus is, lol. Here is the perfect example. #foodlove
Oh! And we get to go Halloween shopping together! It's been forever! My favorite! What are your costume plans this year? I imagine there are going to be a ton of Pennywise clowns from Stephen King's It this year. Man, the remake is way creepier than the original, as good as that one was. Anyway…
We're not planning on doing a full turkey this year – WHAT?! I know. Although Holley has me reconsidering this assuming we can find the perfect little bird today, the Friday of Thanksgiving. We'll see.
Or… I might just be making not-so-paleo aged cheddar turkey grilled cheese sandwiches on real sourdough. I'm so intrigued by real sourdough bread and how the bacteria involved break down many of the offending wheat proteins.
Regardless of what form of turkey we have this weekend, we will be enjoying it with our Adult Port Cranberry Sauce. Happy Thanksgiving!

You had me at port!! Love how simple this recipe is. The color is beautiful!
That’s a cool spin on cranberry sauce! I bet it has a lovely flavor.
Oh gosh yes, this is just everything – love this change up! I’ll be trying it! Thanks!
You’re so welcome! Enjoy Renee!
Love this! Going to pin this for our Christmas dinner. Can’t wait!
Nice! What other paleo Christmas things do you have pinned?
The addition of port is perfect. I love the simplicity here and an alternative to the canned cranberry jelly – yuck!
This looks delicious! I plan to try it this holiday season for sure!
So rich! I love boozy sauces! yum!
I recently got to make my own jam and had so much fun now I’m so into making different kinds of jams and sauce like cranberry by myself. Thanks for sharing. I’m going to make your recipe ! :))
Let us know how it goes! I’d love to see a photo on Instagram!
I love how simple yet creative your adult, boozy cranberry sauce is. I was a peacock for Halloween, as my best friend Said’s birthday is on Halloween and always has a large costume party.
Wicked! Are there photos anywhere that we can see?
