A special duck sauce made with cranberries, orange and port wine.

Gently boil the cranberries and orange zest in a heavy saucepan, over low heat for 5 minutes, or until the cranberry skins start to split. You only require a small amount of water.
Using a draining spoon, remove the cranberries from the pan and place in a bowl.
Add sugar and port wine to the pan. Keep the heat gentle until the sugar dissolves. When dissolved, turn up the heat and bring to boil. Allow to bubble until reduced to half original amount. Pour over cranberries.
Allow to cool and add the orange segments when cool.
When ready to serve, slowly heat, but not to boiling point.
Note: After you have poured the port mixture over the cranberries and allowed to cool you can cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days. The sauce can aslo be frozen and thawed overnight before using, but be warned, when you freeze anything you will lose some taste.
This sauce could be served with other birds as well. Try it with goose or even turkey and chicken.
