Never buy a jar again. This takes no time, has nothing nasty in it (apart from sugar) and tastes much lovelier.

Ingredients

• 100g light muscovado sugar
• 100ml orange juice
• 250g fresh or frozen cranberries

Method

1. Bring the juice and sugar to a boil. Add a splash of port if you like.
2. Tip in the cranberries and simmer till soft but still with some shape – around five minutes for frozen or eight minutes for fresh.
3. Pour into a jar and leave to cool.
4. Will keep for a month in the fridge. Freezes well too.
