Copas Cranberry Sauce

Roast turkey and cranberry sauce are a match made in heaven and vital for the Christmas table. We love our Cranberry sauce quite thick with lots of texture but if you prefer more of a sauce just reduce for a little less time. The sauce will thicken when it cools so remove from the heat when it is still runny.

Ingredients

450g (1lb) cranberries
225g (8oz) granulated sugar
50ml (2floz) Port
50ml (2floz) cider vinegar
