Making your own Smooth Cranberry Sauce is incredibly simple - it takes less than 15 minutes and can be made with fresh or frozen cranberries. Forget Ocean Spray, this is the cranberry sauce you'll want on your table from now on!
Turn up the heat and keep stirring until all the sugar has dissolved.
Turn down the heat and allow the sauce to simmer. You don’t need to stir continuously but it will only take a couple of minutes for all the cranberries to burst and the sauce to come together.
It will be really obvious when it is ready – it will look like cranberry sauce.
Carefully (because it is molten sugar) tip the sauce into a jug or blender jug.
Blitz until the sauce is smooth.
Push the smooth sauce through a sieve. I tend to do this back into the cooking saucepan so that I don’t create more washing up.
Pour the smooth sauce into an airtight container or jam jars. Its ready to eat as soon as its cold.
