Homemade cranberry sauce with port is the little finishing touch to set off a festive dinner – it goes well with cheese and ham too
Ingredients
- 1 large orange
- small piece ginger, finely shredded into matchsticks
- 100g golden caster sugar
- 500g fresh or frozen cranberry
- splash of port (optional)
Method
-
Use a zester to zest the orange or use a peeler to peel off the zest, then finely shred it with a knife and set aside with the ginger. Halve and juice the orange.
-
Tip the orange juice and sugar into a shallow saucepan and boil gently until you get an amber-orange caramel. Scatter the zest and ginger into the caramel, cook for 1 min, then tip in the cranberries and Port, if using. Cook everything on a high heat for 5 mins until the cranberries are starting to split but still have texture. Leave to cool and serve with the turkey.
