Preparation

Step 1

Tip the cranberries in a saucepan set over medium low heat. Remove a heaped 1/2 cup of cranberries and set aside.

Step 2

Add remaining ingredients. Cook for 5 minutes or until sugar is dissolved.

Step 3

Increase heat to medium high. Cook for 10 minutes or until most of the cranberries have burst and the liquid is syrupy.

Step 4

Reduce heat to low, stir through reserved cranberries. Adjust sweetness to your taste with more sugar and add a pinch of salt.

Step 5

Allow to cool and store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Best served at room temperature or warm. Serve with a juicy Roast Turkey - or Slow Cooker Turkey Breast or Roasted Breast.
