Persian Cranberry Sauce Recipes

PERSIAN CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Tip all the ingredients into a small saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir over a low heat for 10 mins until the cranberries have burst into a thick, glossy, sticky sauce. We like ours on the sour side to give your plate a hit of acidity, but if you prefer it sweeter add a bit more sugar. Leave the sauce to cool, then sprinkle over a little orange zest to serve. Can be kept covered in the fridge for up to a week, or frozen for 4 months.

CRANBERRY-PERSIMMON SAUCE

Simmer about 10 minutes, until most of the berries have "popped". Stir in the ground cloves, and the triple sec and walnuts if desired. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 2 hours.;
