Cranberry Sauce

Just a quickie blog post 😀

Yesterday I made the Cranberry Sauce to go with our Christmas dinner and of course it goes well with pork pie or even on a baked Camembert and it is the easiest thing to make. So if you want to feel that some of your dinner is indeed home produced I would choose this item.

I bought the cranberries, I do have a plant but it only produced 1 berry this year lol so I had to buy.

300g fresh cranberries

Approx 1 cup of orange juice

Approx 1/2 cup of sugar, or add to taste

Put it all in a saucepan, simmer gently until the sugar is dissolved and the cranberries begin to break up, I then crush it with the back of a spoon or a potato masher would work well. Then bring to the boil for a couple of minutes, stirring all the time as you don’t want it to catch and burn on the base of the pan.

That is it folks and it smells divine, taste fabulous and feels like a big achievement when you present it at the Christmas feast.

It depends on when you make it as to what you do with it, it will last a few days in the fridge easily enough, or as I have done, you can freeze it and get it out the night before it’s needed and put it in the fridge.
