CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH GIN & ROSEMARY



Cranberry sauce with gin & rosemary image

Make this extra special version of cranberry sauce by adding gin and rosemary. It's the perfect sauce for your Christmas dinner table

Provided by Good Food team

Time 25m

Yield Serves 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 4

200g cranberries, fresh or frozen
100g golden caster sugar
large rosemary sprig
4 tbsp gin

Steps:

  • Tip the cranberries, sugar and rosemary into a pan with about 100ml water. Cook over a low heat for about 15 mins, stirring occasionally, until all the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened to a syrupy consistency. Fresh cranberries thicken the sauce more readily than frozen, so it may take a little longer, but be careful not to let the sauce become a jam.
  • Scoop out the rosemary and stir through the gin. Cook for 1 min more, then leave to cool. Will keep, covered, in the fridge for three days.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 65 calories, Carbohydrate 12 grams carbohydrates, Sugar 11 grams sugar, Fiber 1 grams fiber, Protein 0.1 grams protein

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries are the best choice for this sauce, as they have a tart and tangy flavor that complements the other ingredients well. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries: Cranberries should be cooked until they are just softened, but not mushy. If you overcook them, they will lose their vibrant color and flavor.
  • Use a good quality gin: The gin you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the sauce. Choose a gin that you enjoy drinking, and make sure it is at least 40% alcohol by volume (ABV).
  • Add the gin gradually: Start by adding a small amount of gin to the sauce and then taste it. Continue adding gin until you reach the desired flavor.
  • Serve the sauce warm or cold: This sauce can be served warm or cold. If you are serving it cold, be sure to chill it for at least 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

This shallot gin cranberry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make twist on the classic cranberry sauce. It is perfect for serving with roasted turkey, chicken, or pork. The shallots add a subtle sweetness to the sauce, while the gin adds a touch of complexity. This sauce is sure to be a hit at your next holiday gathering.
