This is my own recipe made up on the cuff one fine Christmas day several year ago.

Its transpired transpired because I lacked a recipe at the time – and once we had it this way no other recipe would do. Once you have tasted homemade cranberry sauce you’ll never buy the readymade again! Personally I love to experiment with my own ideas, and this was a definite winner with my family.

Ingredients

1 orange
175g/5oz caster sugar
5 tbsp Red Wine [approximate, I tend to slosh red wine in..]
359g/12oz cranberries, fresh or frozen

Instructions

1. Place cranberries in pan, grate over the zest of the one orange, and add the juice. Throw in the red wine [4tbsp or a good slosh, depending on what you fancy]
2. Cook for 8-10 minutes [longer if you are using frozen cranberries] until the fruit is soft and the juices thick
3. Add further 1tbsp of red wine or another good slosh. Serve warm or cold
