Spiced Red Wine Cranberry Sauce

1 Cup Sugar (or 1/2 Cup Brown sugar)
3/4 Cups Dry Red Wine
1/3 Cup Orange Juice
3/4 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/2 Teaspoon Cloves
1 (12 ounce) Package Cranberries (fresh not frozen)

Combine all ingredients except the cranberries in a medium saucepan.  Bring mixture to a boil stirring occasionally.  Once at a boil lower heat and let mixture simmer for about 3 minutes or until all the sugar has dissolved.  Add cranberries and simmer until cranberries pop and mixture thickens (It is so awesome to hear the cranberries popping!!!).  Remove from heat and cool.  Cover and chill so you can enjoy it this Thanksgiving!

I know the picture doesn't do the actual sauce justice, it tastes a lot better than it looks since it looks a little like beans!!!
