Ingredients

  • 350 grams cranberries fresh or frozen
  • 150 grams jam sugar
  • 100 grams brown sugar
  • 200 millilitres bourbon
  • 1 orange zest only
  • 2 star anise
  • 2 cloves
  • 1 pinch nutmeg ground
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon ground

Instructions

  • Place all of the ingredients into a heavy bottomed pan.
  • Place on a medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Reduce the heat slightly and allow to simmer until most of the cranberries have begun to burst (roughly 10-15minutes) and a thick, sticky liquid has formed.
  • Transfer to a steralised jar and place the lid on tightly.
  • Allow the sauce to cool in the jar - you will hear a "pop" when the jar has created an air tight seal and the sauce is cool.
  • Store until required (up to 3 months).
