REALLY SIMPLE CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Tip 100g light muscovado sugar and 100ml orange juice into a pan, then bring to the boil.
• Stir in 250g fresh or frozen cranberries, then simmer until tender but still holding their shape - this will take about 5 mins if using frozen cranberries or 8-10 mins if using fresh.
• The sauce will thicken as it cools. Will keep in the fridge for 1 week. On the day, bring to room temperature before serving.

PERFECT CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Empty a 12-ounce bag of fresh or frozen cranberries into a saucepan and transfer 1/2 cup to a small bowl. Add 1 cup sugar, 1 strip orange or lemon zest and 2 tablespoons water to the pan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the cranberries are soft, about 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium and cook until the cranberries burst, about 12 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the reserved cranberries. Add sugar, salt and pepper to taste and cool to room temperature before serving.

CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Rinse cranberries: Place the cranberries in a colander and rinse them. Pick out and discard any damaged or bruised cranberries.
• Stir in mix-ins, if using: Once the cranberries have burst you can leave the cranberry sauce as is, or dress it up with other ingredients. We like to mix in a half a cup of chopped pecans a pinch or two of orange zest. Some people like adding raisins or currants, or even blueberries for added sweetness. You can also add holiday spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice. If adding spices, start with a pinch of each and add more to your taste.

SIMPLE "FANCY" CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring water and sugar to a boil.
• Add remaining ingredients, return to boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until berries burst.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Remove ginger root, refrigerate until cold (preferably over night to allow ample time to gel).
• Even after cooling, this is a bit runny for some people's taste. You can solve this by either reducing the amount of liquid added, or by boiling some of it off.
