Ingredients for  6-8  Servings

  • 100g
    Light brown sugar
  • 100ml
    Fresh orange juice
  • 250g
    Fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1
    Clementine or small orange, finely grated zest only (optional)

Approximate Times

  • Preparation :
    Less than 30 minutes
  • Cooking :
    Less than 10 minutes

Method

  1. Bring the sugar and orange juice to the boil in a large saucepan. Stir in the cranberries and zest, if using, and simmer for 5 minutes or until tender but holding their shape. Frozen cranberries will take longer than fresh. Refridgerate until needed, it will thicken as it cools.
  2. Remove from the fridge an hour before serving.

Notes

For best results make this cranberry sauce a few days in advance to let the flavours mingle. You can also add a little port, if liked

The sauce will keep in the fridge for up to one week and can be frozen if it is more convenient to make it further in advance. Defrost for 24 hours in the fridge.
