Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups (260g) dried cranberries
- 3/4 cup (180ml) cranberry juice
- 1 orange, juiced and zested
- 1/4 cup (60g) golden caster sugar
- a pinch of salt
- 1 tsp (2.5g) cornstarch
- 2 tsp (10ml) water
Instructions
- Place the cranberries, juice, orange, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan and place on a medium-high heat.
- Once the mixture is boiling, turn down the heat until the mixture is simmering and cook for around 5-10 minutes; the cranberries should look nice and plump.
- Mix the cornstarch and water in a cup to make a slurry.
- Slowly drizzle the slurry into the cranberry sauce mixture while stirring. Keep stirring for at least 1 minute, or until the sauce thickens. Don’t overdo it as the sauce will thicken more as it cools.
- Serve with a roast turkey or chicken dinner. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you don’t have golden caster sugar to hand then I would substitute it with brown sugar. Granulated sugar will work too!
- You can substitute the orange with lemon, which will work just as well. I prefer the flavours of the orange though.
- Don't let this beautiful sauce go to waste if you find you can't use it all, check out my guide on freezing cranberry sauce.
