Sunday Classics: Making cranberry sauce? Here’s a traditional recipe

Batch cook this sauce and enjoy all through winter

Making (and eating!) turkey during the Christmas season is a tradition. And a slathering of cranberry sauce over crispy turkey takes it to a whole other level! Here’s an easy recipe:

Ingredients:

• Cranberries: 100gm
• Powdered sugar: 1 and ½ cup
• Salt: One small pinch
• Water: 2 cups

Recipe:

• Wash the cranberries
• Take a nonstick pan, pour water and heat well
• Now add sugar, give a good stir and boil together
• Add the cranberries, mix well and lower the heat
• Cover and cook for 12-15 minutes. Keep stirring occasionally
• Once the cranberries have softened and the consistency of the sauce is thick, add salt and give a quick mix
• Check seasonings and turn of the flame
• Allow the cranberry sauce to cool. Refrigerate it in an airtight container for minimum 15-20 minutes before consumption

Tip:

• The cranberry sauce will thicken once cool
• The end result of the sauce while on the gas should not be runny or watery
