A nice and classy twist to the good ol' cranberry sauce. How about some figs? Bet you never thought of that! Throw some wine in there and you have yourself a rish cranberry sauce. For a non-alcoholic alternative, go for clear apple juice.
Method of preparing the sauce:
-
Boil the wine with the figs. Remove from heat, cover for 30 minutes.
-
Remove the figs, and add to the wine cranberries, sugar, and orange peel.
-
Return to the heat. Simmer until sugar dissolves and then for another 10-15 minutes.
-
Discard the orange peel, add the figs back in and let cool completely.
Chef's Tip:
When you peel the orange, make sure you don't peel the white pith as well, as it's bitter.
