Equipment

  • medium pan

Ingredients

  • 300 g pack fresh or frozen cranberries
  • Juice of 1 orange
  • 50 g light muscovado sugar
  • 100 g orange shred marmalade

Instructions

  • Place the cranberries in a medium pan over low heat.
  • Add the orange juice, muscovado sugar, and orange marmalade.
  • Stir until the sugar and marmalade melt, and the mixture begins to bubble.
  • Increase the heat slightly and cook for 3-5 minutes, depending on the type of cranberries used (frozen cranberries will soften more quickly).
  • Cook until the cranberries are tender but still hold their shape.
  • Test the texture by gently squashing a cranberry to check softness.
  • Remove from heat and let the sauce cool – it will thicken as it cools.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
