Cranberry & port sauce

Cranberry & port sauce

No roast turkey should be served without cranberry sauce; its balance of bitterness, sweetness and sharpness takes the turkey from subtle to centrepiece. Fresh berries and port may seem like a step too far on paper but it s a combination that keeps people coming back. This simple recipe can also be made well ahead of the 25th; see below for advice.

Ingredients

  • 500g fresh or frozen cranberries

  2. Add the sugar and port, then stir until the sugar has dissolved. Simmer for a further 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl and serve warm or cold, scattered with orange zest.

Cool, cover and chill the sauce for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Defrost thoroughly before consuming.
