Cranberry sauce
1 bag of cranberries (350g ish)
1 cup (200g) sugar
¼ cup port (50ml)
½ cup orange juice or water (100 ml)
- Pour everything (though maybe keep back few tbsp of the sugar) into a pan and heat for ten minutes. Give the hot sauce a vigorous stir to crush most of the berries
- Taste (it’s super hot, so be careful!) and see if it’s too sour – if so, add the rest of the sugar. In the unlikely event of it being too sweet, add a squeeze of lemon
- Chill – the sauce thickens as it chills – cover and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks (or bottle in sterilized jars)
Baked camembert
1 camembert (or Brie)
2 tbsp cranberry sauce
1 French loaf – or crackers, crudités, chips, breadsticks etc for dipping
- Unwrap the camembert then put back into its wooden box (or lay on parchment paper)
- Spread the cranberry sauce on top
- Bake at 350 for 15 – 20 minutes – it should ooze at the touch and the cranberries should be hot
- Spread on French bread or dip into with crackers / celery / apple slices etc
This originally appeared with a musing on boys dressed as turkeys and one of the worst dates ever.
