Spiced Cranberry Sauce

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Sauces and Gravies
An iconic companion for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but equally at home next to Sunday's breaded camembert. Due to the natural pectin content of cranberries, the sauce gels by itself during cooking, like a fresh jam. Orange and cinnamon make this ruby-red wonder truly festive.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Small saucepan: For cooking.
  • Grater: For the orange zest.
  • Wooden spoon: For stirring.

Instructions

1 ✓

Put all ingredients into the saucepan except for the orange zest. Mix together.

Tip: Salt, though it may seem odd, is essential for balancing flavours in sweet dishes too.
2 ✓

Bring to a boil over a medium heat. You will hear the berries start to pop from the heat.

Tip: The water under the skin turns to steam and bursts the berry, releasing natural gelling agent (pectin).
3 ✓

Turn down the heat and simmer gently for 10-12 minutes until the sauce becomes thick and jam-like.

Tip: Do not cook too long, because if the sugar starts to caramelise (overheat), the sauce might set into hard candy upon cooling.
4 ✓

Remove from the heat, stir in the grated orange zest, and leave to cool.

Tip: The texture is best when lukewarm or cold.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use dried cranberries?
No, dried cranberries are already sugared and dry, they won't cook down into a sauce. Only fresh or frozen work.
When should I take it off the heat?
When most of the berries have popped and the juice has thickened. It will set further while cooling!
