Ingredients
8
- 300 g cranberries
- 4-6 tbsp white sugar (to taste)
- 2 tbsp ginger wine (OR 1/2 tsp ground ginger)
- 1 clove 1 clove
- a tiny piece of cinnamon stick
Instructions
- 1
Place everything in a saucepan, bring to a boil on medium heat, then lower heat right down and simmer for about 5 - 10 minutes at the most. 5 minutes will give you a sauce with largely whole cranberries, 10 will give you a slightly mushier result. I like a mixture of both, so stop at about 7. You could also mash the cranberries in the shorter time period with a fork or potato masher.
