Yoghurt and cranberry sauce

How do I spruce up cranberry sauce?

Adding orange zest, dried apricots or even toasted pecans will transform your sauce into an entirely new flavour combination.

How do you get the bitterness out of cranberry sauce?

Adding a dash of maple syrup or honey should take care of a bitter sauce. Apple or orange juice will also work well but keep in mind that this could change the sauce’s consistency and flavour profile.

Why is my homemade cranberry sauce runny?

Too much liquid or too little sugar are two common causes of a runny consistency. In the first instance, you’ll need to extend your cooking time until the sauce has thickened or, if all else fails, add a thickener like pectin or gelatine. If it’s too little sugar, simply add more until you have reached the desired consistency.

How do you preserve homemade cranberry sauce?

For short-term storage, simply add your sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 14 days. For larger batches, the sauce is very much like a normal jelly or jam and can be canned using the normal water bath method. Place the sealed jars in a cool, dry spot and enjoy within 12-18 months.

A creamy alternative to a much-loved classic

This yoghurt-based cranberry sauce is a decadently creamy alternative to the traditional recipe. Needing only the smallest splash of honey to perfectly balance the tartness of the fruit, this one-step sauce is quick and easy!

A must-have accompaniment to any turkey dinner

Few flavour combinations are as traditional as turkey and cranberry sauce, and science tells us that it’s little wonder why: the tannins found in cranberry skins naturally bind with the proteins and fats of the turkey to create a blissfully balanced and sweet combination. Our creamy twist to the traditional recipe will make this your go-to sauce for anything turkey.

Cranberry sauce swaps and substitutions

A fruit-based chutney, Scandinavian-style lingonberry jam, redcurrant jelly or good old gravy are all excellent alternatives that go very well with turkey. For the non-traditionalists, try an Asian-inspired peanut dipping sauce, honey mustard or even pesto for new flavour combinations.
