Instructions
Step 1: Tip the cranberries into a saucepan set over medium-low heat. Remove a heaped 1/2 cup of cranberries and set them aside.
Step 2: Add the remaining ingredients. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved.
Step 3: Increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for 10 minutes, or until most of the cranberries have burst and the liquid is syrupy.
Step 4: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the reserved cranberries. Adjust the sweetness to your taste with more sugar, and add a pinch of salt.
Step 5: Allow the sauce to cool, then store it in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. It will continue to thicken as it cools. Serve at room temperature or warm, alongside roast turkey.
Notes
For a looser consistency, adjust the sauce with hot water to your taste.
