Method

  • step 1

    Tip 100g light muscovado sugar and 100ml orange juice into a pan, then bring to the boil.

  • step 2

    Stir in 250g fresh or frozen cranberries, then simmer until tender but still holding their shape – this will take about 5 mins if using frozen cranberries or 8-10 mins if using fresh.

  • step 3

    The sauce will thicken as it cools. Will keep in the fridge for 1 week. On the day, bring to room temperature before serving.

RECIPE TIPS
FAST FLAVOUR

Try a few additions to give your sauce an edge. Add blanched strips of orange zest for a Cumberland sauce-style twist or spice it up with ginger or chilli. A splash of port to a simple recipe can add a kick, too.

USE UP LEFTOVERS

Fold cranberry sauce through Greek yogurt and use it in Boxing Day sarnies with cold ham, turkey, lettuce and pickled walnuts.

Try plenty of festive trimmings from our sister title olivemagazine.com/Christmas-trimmings.

I swapped the sugar for a zero carb version (diabetes) and I didn’t have any orange juice so used pineapple….amazing!

It tastes a bit sour? What have I done wrong? X

Fresh cranberry is a little sour but add more sugar if it’s too sour. It’ll depend a bit on your fruit and how ripe it is.

Could I use apple juice or something different to orange juice. One of our guests is allergic to oranges. Thanks

Yep I would have thought any fruit juice would work well but you might need a touch more sugar. What about adding cranberry juice?
