Cranberry Sauce Without Orange Juice
This flavourful cranberry sauce doesn't use oranges or any citrus products!
Ingredients
- 225 g (2 ¼ cups) fresh cranberries
- 65 g (⅓ cup) sugar granulated or caster
- 25 g (2 tbsp) dark brown sugar packed
- 60 ml (¼ cup) tawny port or full-bodied red wine (see note)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3-5 cardamom pods
- 1 star anise
- 2 cm (¾ in) piece fresh ginger
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, add cranberries, both sugars, port, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, star anise and ginger. Pour over 60ml (1/4 cup) water, stir to combine and set over medium heat.
- Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and begin to break down, about ten minutes. Cook for a further five minutes to allow the excess liquid to evaporate and the sauce to thicken.
- Remove the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, anise and ginger. Transfer to a heatproof dish and allow to cool completely before serving.

Notes
If you don't have port, a full-bodied red wine like a shiraz or merlot will work well here. For those who don't want to use alcohol, sub this with 100% pomegranate juice or cherry juice.
