Cranberry Sauce With Gin Rosemary Food

CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH GIN & ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Tip the cranberries, sugar and rosemary into a pan with about 100ml water. Cook over a low heat for about 15 mins, stirring occasionally, until all the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened to a syrupy consistency. Fresh cranberries thicken the sauce more readily than frozen, so it may take a little longer, but be careful not to let the sauce become a jam.
• Scoop out the rosemary and stir through the gin. Cook for 1 min more, then leave to cool. Will keep, covered, in the fridge for three days.

LIPSTICK MEMORY

Steps:

• To make Cran-Rosemary Juice, combine unsweetened cranberry juice, 2 Tbsp. water, and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar, then immediately remove from heat. Add 2 rosemary sprigs and let steep 4 minutes. Strain into a liquid measuring cup or 12-ounce resealable jar. Let cool to room temperature and use immediately, or seal and refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
• To make the cocktail, add sparkling wine to a Collins glass, being careful to let fizz settle to get an accurate measurement. Add Campari and Cran-Rosemary Juice, then fill with ice. If you'd like to torch the rosemary sprig, hold it next to the burner of a gas stove or near a match for a few seconds, just to warm a bit. Give the cocktail a very brief, gentle stir, then garnish with rosemary.

GIN AND CRANBERRY SAUCED

Steps:

• Grab some leftover cranberry sauce and--avoiding the whole berries--add 2 tablespoons to a shaker with the gin, lime juice and bitters. Add ice, shake very vigorously at least 30 to 45 seconds and strain through a mesh strainer into a chilled coupe glass. Smack a sprig of rosemary between palms to release aroma/holiday aggression and float delicately atop the cocktail. Toast to well-purposed leftovers.
