Spiced Orange And Cranberry Sauce
When cranberry sauce out of a jar just won’t cut it! SO easy, and so delicious.
Spiced Orange and Cranberry Sauce
I am a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas dining. I put it down to too many Christmases in the USA and London, and to me there is nothing better than sliced turkey, gravy and lots of cranberry sauce. I am happy to eat it any time of year and often host a Christmas in July so we can really enjoy a hot lunch during our cold Southern Hemisphere winter.
This recipe is a festive delight, perfect for adding a zesty, sweet twist to your holiday table. Made effortlessly in the Thermomix, this recipe combines frozen cranberries with orange zest, juice, and star anise, creating a tangy-sweet sauce that’s bursting with flavor. Serve it as a traditional accompaniment to roast turkey, ham, or chicken, or use it as a topping for brie or camembert for an impressive appetizer. It’s also fantastic swirled into yogurt, spread on toast, or layered in desserts like trifles or parfaits. Make a batch ahead of time and enjoy this versatile sauce all season long or make a double batch and gift some to your foodie besties. They will love it too!
Serve it with any or all of the following:
