Easy Classic Cranberry Sauce
Report
Recipe video above. A classic, easy cranberry sauce recipe for your turkey centrepiece. Store bought tastes nothing like this homemade version! The touch of lemon zest is what makes that little extra difference. Adjust the sweetness to your taste. This to me has a nice balance of sweet / tart, without being overly sweet like jam. Easy to adjust thickness with more water so don't worry if it gets too thick when it cools. Makes almost 3 cups.

Ingredients
- 16 oz / 500g bag frozen cranberries (or fresh)
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/8 tsp lemon zest
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Tip the cranberries in a saucepan set over medium low heat. Remove a heaped 1/2 cup of cranberries and set aside.
- Add remaining ingredients. Cook for 5 minutes or until sugar is dissolved.
- Increase heat to medium high. Cook for 10 minutes or until most of the cranberries have burst and the liquid is syrupy.
- Reduce heat to low, stir through reserved cranberries. Adjust sweetness to your taste with more sugar and add a pinch of salt.
- Allow to cool and store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Best served at room temperature or warm. Serve with a juicy Roast Turkey - or Slow Cooker Turkey Breast or Roasted Breast.
Notes
- Adjust consistency to your taste with hot water. I like mine like runny jam with a touch of syrupy-ness to it, rather than a thick jam.
- Nutrition is per person, assuming this serves 10. It will go much further if you also have gravy as a sauce option for turkey.
