Easy Cranberry and Orange Sauce
Let the oven do the work with this easy cranberry orange sauce recipe. It's just bursting with fresh fruity flavours and takes no effort at all. With just three ingredients and no need to watch a pan, you'll never go back to buying ready-made.
Ingredients
- 200 g cranberries (one cup plus a heaped half cup)
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 1/2 orange (zest and juice)
Instructions
- 1
Heat oven to 170°C / Gas Mark 3 / 325°F.
- 2
Add all the ingredients to a medium sized ovenproof dish with a lid. Stir together. Don't worry about the lack of liquid. The sugar will draw out the juice from the cranberries.
- 3
Cover with the lid or tightly cover with foil. Cook in the oven for about 40 minutes. Stir occasionally during the early part of cooking, giving the bottom of the dish a good scrap to ensure the sugar dissolves properly.
- 4
The cranberry sauce is ready when the sugar has fully dissolved and formed a syrup, and the cranberries are soft, but retain their shape. The syrup will seem very runny, but will thicken as the sauce cools.
- 5
Allow to cool, and keep in the fridge in a lidded container until needed. Serve at room temperature.
