Questions about Cranberry sauce
How do you make cranberry sauce from fresh cranberries?
Simmer cranberries with sugar, a splash of water and orange zest for about 10–15 minutes, stirring until most berries burst and the sauce thickens. It will set further as it cools.
Can you make cranberry sauce ahead of time?
Yes. Make it up to several days ahead, cool it promptly and keep it covered in the fridge; bring it to the table chilled or let it lose its refrigerator chill before serving.
How long does cranberry sauce keep after opening?
Transfer opened canned sauce or homemade sauce to a clean, covered container and refrigerate it; use within about a week. Discard it if you notice mould, bubbling or an off smell.
What do you serve cranberry sauce with?
It is a classic with roast turkey, but its sharp sweetness also works with roast chicken, pork, sausages and a cheese board. Spoon it into sandwiches with leftover roast meat, too.
What is the difference between whole-berry and jellied cranberry sauce?
Whole-berry sauce has visible softened berries and a looser, textured feel. Jellied sauce is strained or set smooth, so it can be sliced and holds its shape on the plate.
Can you use cranberry sauce instead of cranberry compote?
Usually, yes: use the same amount as a topping for porridge, yoghurt or pancakes, or alongside roast meat. Cranberry sauce is often firmer and sweeter, so loosen it with a little water or orange juice if needed.
Can you freeze cranberry sauce?
Yes. Freeze it in a sealed container, leaving a little room for expansion, for up to about three months. Thaw it in the fridge and stir well before serving.
How much cranberry sauce should you serve per person?
A spoonful or two alongside a roast is usually enough; a slice of canned jellied sauce is another common serving. A 57 g slice contains 91 kcal.
