Ingredients
8oz/225g fresh cranberries
1 cooking apple-peeled and diced
3oz/75g caster sugar
Juice & zest of 1 orange
2floz/50ml water
3floz/75ml good quality port
1 cinnamon stick
Add all the ingredients into the pot and boil gently for 10-12 minutes until the majority of the liquids have reduced. The sauce should have a nice crimson red colour.
Transfer to a sterile jar and label. This relish has a shelf life of approximately 3 months.
Leftover relish can be added to gravies, stuffing’s, fruit crumbles etc.
To sterilize the jars wash them out with boiling water and then place in a warm oven (130C for approximately 15-20 minutes until completely dry-this will help to offset rancidity).
