Ingredients

150 g caster sugar
120 g water
300 g fresh cranberries
1 orange zested
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

Instructions

Pour the water and sugar into a large saucepan and simmer for 5-10 minutes until the sugar has dissolved.
Add the cranberries, orange zest and spices and simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring well.
Once the cranberries are just beginning to break down then remove from the heat.
Chill the sauce until needed, or up to 4 weeks.

Notes

Try not to break the cranberries up too much when heating. You want about half of them to be lovely and whole and the other half squidgy and saucey.
The sauce keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.
