Cranberry & Sloe Gin Sauce Category: Recipes
The second part of my pre-Christmas cooking started yesterday with Cranberry & Sloe Gin Sauce – a recipe I found on The Cottage Smallholder.
You’ll need:
- 300g cranberries
- 4 clementines – squeezed with some pulp
- 120g granulated white sugar
- 25ml Sloe Gin
How to Do It
- Wash the cranberries thoroughly – taking out any soft fruit
- Wash the clementines and then squeeze the juice out of them (i did this by hand quite easily)
- Put the cranberries in a large pan together with the sugar and clementine juice and pulp – mix around
- 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
- 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
- Take off the heat and stir in the sloe gin
- Decant into warm sterilised jars
