Spiced cranberry ketchup

Heat the oil in a medium pan over a medium heat, then add the onion, spices and ½ tsp salt. Sweat down for 8 minutes until soft. Add the ginger and stir for 2 minutes, then add the remaining ½ tsp salt and the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, until the cranberries are soft and beginning to break down. Leave to cool. Carefully pick out the whole spices, then whizz into a smooth ketchup using a stick blender or upright blender. Season with black pepper, adding a little more sugar if needed.
