You’ll need:

  • 300g cranberries
  • 4 clementines – squeezed with some pulp
  • 120g granulated white sugar
  • 25ml Sloe Gin

How to Do It

  1. Wash the cranberries thoroughly – taking out any soft fruit
  2. Wash the clementines and then squeeze the juice out of them (i did this by hand quite easily)
  3. Put the cranberries in a large pan together with the sugar and clementine juice and pulp – mix around
  4. Turn the heat on under the pan to allow the mixture to come up to a simmer then taste for sweetness, adding extra sugar if you desire
  5. Pop the lid on the pan and let it simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes until all berries have burst and it resembles a jam type consistency
  6. Take off the heat and stir in the sloe gin
  7. Decant into warm sterilised jars
