Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 300 g fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 100 g caster sugar
  • Zest and juice of 1 orange
  • 50 ml port or red wine optional
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 50 ml water
  • Pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan.
  2. Heat gently until sugar dissolves.
  3. Simmer 8–10 minutes until berries burst.
  4. Remove cinnamon stick.
  5. Cool in the pan, as it thickens.
  6. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Notes

Cook only until the berries burst — overcooking makes it dull and over-set.
The sauce thickens significantly as it cools.
Best made a day or two ahead for flavour.
Freezes well for up to 3 months.
