    Cranberry Sauce

    Cranberry sauce on windowsill this …

    Cranberry sauce is so quick and easy to make, that it really isn't worth opening a jar.

    Make sure that you've got enough time to get out to the shops to buy the ingredients to make your own cranberry sauce, infused with orange, cinnamon and ginger. Christmas in a bowl.

    This is SO easy and it's also SO much tastier than anything you'll buy in a jar. You can adjust the sweetness to suit your taste - I like it pretty sharp - and it will keep beautifully in the fridge or freeze like a dream. Your turkey sandwiches will be forever grateful - especially if you also add a touch of your favourite stuffing.

    Go on - give it a try ...
