Easy Cranberry and Orange Sauce
Serves 6-8
Ingredients:
- 150g caster sugar
- 250ml orange juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of ground cloves
- 350g fresh cranberries
Method:
- Combine the sugar, orange juice, cinnamon and cloves in a medium saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
- Add the cranberries, return to the boil and stir over a medium heat for about 10 minutes. Use a long-handled spoon and keep an eye on it, as this will bubble and spit.
- When most of the cranberries have popped and the sauce has thickened, it’s done.
- Pour it into a serving dish or storage container and allow it to cool, then store it in the fridge.
- This will keep, covered, for 1 week in the fridge.
