Ingredients

fresh or frozen cranberries
250 g
pomegranate molasses or balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp
orange finely zested and juiced
0.5
golden caster sugar plus extra if needed
2 tbsp
pinch of ground allspice
1 pinch

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh or frozen cranberries, pomegranate molasses (or balsamic vinegar), orange zest, orange juice, golden caster sugar, and a pinch of ground allspice.

Place the saucepan over low heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has transformed into a thick, glossy, and sticky consistency.

Taste the sauce and stir in a little extra sugar if you prefer a sweeter flavor profile. Remove from the heat and allow the sauce to cool completely before serving.

Chef's Tips

This sauce is excellent for meal prep; it keeps well in a covered container in the fridge for up to one week or can be frozen for up to two months. If the sauce becomes too thick after chilling, simply stir in a splash of water or orange juice to reach your desired consistency.
