No Christmas turkey dinner is complete without it!

Cranberry Sauce with Port
Christmas dinner isn't complete without cranberry sauce!
Prep time: 5 MinCook time: 18 MinTotal time: 23 Min
Ingredients
- 350g pack fresh cranberries - washed and drained
- 130g caster sugar
- 175ml port
- 4 inches of cinnamon stick
- finely grated zest and juice of half an orange
Instructions
- Get a medium sized saucepan and throw in the cranberries along with the sugar.
- Heat it up a bit then add the port, orange zest and juice along with the cinnamon stick.
- Simmer gently, stirring now and then very carefully so you don't break off bits of cinnamon stick.
- The cranberries will start to break open and release their lovely juice.
- Once this happens keep simmering until it has reduced down a bit and the sauce looks glossy and a bit jammy.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and discard.
- Have a taste to see if you need more sugar - although my guess is you won't need to add any more.
