How to Cook Cranberry and Apple Sauce
- Peel, core and chop the apples. Place the cranberries in to a saucepan on a low heat and add the chopped apples. Pour in the caster sugar (superfine sugar) and stir well, maintaining only a low heat so that the sugar does not scorch.
- As the juices from the cranberries and the apples begin to flow out and soften the fruits, add a star anise and the orange juice (NOT from concentrate!). Cook very slowly for about 20 minutes on a low heat, mashing the fruits with a wooden spoon as they continue to soften further. Add a dash (about 2-3 tablespoons) of water and cook for a further 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and mash together until you have a pulp. This is fine if you want to use your Cranberry Sauce as an accompaniment to a meat dish like turkey.
- To use as a jam (jelly), pass the pulp through a fine mesh metal sieve (strainer) using the back of a wooden spoon to help it through. Allow to cool at room temperature then store it in sealed jars.
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
Don't be too concerned if your sauce appears a little runny at the end - it will thicken as it cools
Reviews of Cranberry and Apple Sauce
March 03 2015 Really deep rich flavours to this sauce with I served with turkey at the weekend. And, as the introduction says, it also works well when it's cold with a bit of Brie and a crusty French bread. Carol (6 reviews) |
