Add the diced vegetables, the garlic and bacon and sauté until the vegetables are soft. Add the red wine. Mix the vinegar, tomato paste, mustard and lemon zest in and add the cranberries.
Combine with the meat stock and let it gently simmer for about an hour. When the venison is tender, add the cornflour, heat it up gently and season with salt and pepper.
Serve with fettucine.
