Ingredient Notes
Fresh Cranberry - Preferably use fresh cranberries. You can use frozen too, but not the dried ones! Sugar - You can use white or brown sugar. Simultaneously, you can also use other kind of sweeter too. Fruit Juice - I don’t add any water, instead I use only juice. Sometimes orange juice, or pineapple or mango juice. If you use orange juice, makes sure to use the zest too. Spices - Warm spices like cinnamon stick and star anise boost the taste a lot. Don’t use powder, use whole spices, so the flavor stays subtle. Fresh Rosemary - I like to use fresh herb like rosemary or thyme. It is not mandate, but adds a beautiful floral note to the sauce.

Best way to store
Any sauce or jam should always be stored in a clean dry glass or ceramic jar with an air tight lid. You can keep it at room temperature during cold days, but I prefer to store in the refrigerator. It is served at room temperature, so you can take it out of the fridge a couple of hours before serving.
