Best Sloe Gin Cranberry Sauce Recipes

Cranberry sauce with gin & rosemary image

Provided by Good Food team

Time 25m

Yield Serves 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 4

200g cranberries, fresh or frozen
100g golden caster sugar
large rosemary sprig
4 tbsp gin

Steps:

Tip the cranberries, sugar and rosemary into a pan with about 100ml water. Cook over a low heat for about 15 mins, stirring occasionally, until all the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened to a syrupy consistency. Fresh cranberries thicken the sauce more readily than frozen, so it may take a little longer, but be careful not to let the sauce become a jam.
Scoop out the rosemary and stir through the gin. Cook for 1 min more, then leave to cool. Will keep, covered, in the fridge for three days.

Steps:

Rinse and pick over the sloes, then pat dry in a clean tea towel. Using a stainless steel fork or cocktail stick, prick the sloes and tip into a 2-litre glass jar, or divide between two smaller jars.
Add the sugar and gin, then seal the jar. Shake well. Once a day for seven days, give the jar a good shake. Store the jar in a cool, dark place and leave for two to three months.
Line a plastic sieve with a square of muslin set over a bowl and strain the sloe gin through it. Decant into clean, dry bottles, then seal and label. The sloe gin is now ready to drink but it'll improve and mature over time - so, if possible, make it one year to drink the next.
