Homemade Cranberry Sauce
The perfect accompaniment to your Christmas turkey, and without doubt one of the most important 'trimmings' on the Christmas table.
Ingredients
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams port
- 400 grams fresh cranberries (rinsed)
- Zest and juice of one whole orange
- 1 star anise and/ or a stick of cinammon (optional)
Instructions
- Put all the ingredients into a pan and bring to the boil.
- Simmer for 9 – 10 minutes, until the cranberries have broken down to a rough pulp, stirring frequently to stop the sauce sticking. Use a wooden spoon to help crush any remaining whole cranberries.
- Serve immediately or keep in the fridge for a few days.
