Cranberry and Orange Sauce

Gluten-free free and vegan. It is the perfect accompaniment to your lunch on the big day – as it just smells and looks so Christmassy!

Makes 6 servings


Ingredients

  • ½ cup water

  • 340g fresh cranberries (about 3 cups), remove the tiny stems

  • 12-15 Medjool dates, pitted and diced (adjust to your taste)

  • 2 oranges (2 juiced)

  • 2 cinnamon sticks

  • 1 teaspoon of whole cloves

Method

  1. Combine the water, cranberries, dates, juice of 2 oranges, cloves and cinnamon sticks. Cover and bring to a boil in a medium saucepan.

  2. Once boiling, reduce to heat and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. Stir occasionally so as not to let it burn. If you feel that the sauce is becoming too thick, feel free to add a little more water. Continue cooking until the cranberries are broken down.

  3. Remove from the heat once the sauce has your desired consistency - it will be a semi-chunky consistency.

  4. Serve warm or chilled.
