SAVE RECIPE
Method
1
For the apple sauce, peel and core the apples, then slice as thinly as possible
2
Melt butter in a pan over a low-medium heat. Add the apples, sugar and water and cook gently until soft and puréed. Finish with the cinnamon and lemon juice. Store in a jar in the fridge
- 50g of butter
- 75g of Demerara sugar
- 1 dash of water
- 75g of Demerara sugar
- 2 pinches of cinnamon
- 1 lemon for juice
3
For the mint sauce, pick the mint leaves and reserve the stalks. Blanch the mint leaves for a few seconds in boiling water. Then, refresh in ice water, drain and squeeze dry before finely chopping
- 2 bunches of mint, large
4
Add the sugar, water, vinegar and mint stalks to a pan and bring to the boil, seasoning with a pinch of salt. Once boiling, remove from the heat and leave to cool
- 150g of sugar
- 150ml of water
- 150ml of white wine vinegar
- 1 pinch of salt
5
Once cool, pour over the chopped mint. Transfer to a jar and store in the fridge
6
For the cranberry sauce, combine the orange juice, zest and spices in a heavy-based saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until reduced by half
- 2 oranges, zested
- 400ml of orange juice
- 1 pinch of ground ginger
- 1 pinch of mixed spice
- 1 pinch of cinnamon
7
Add the cranberries and cook over a low heat to slowly stew the fruit - do not allow the cranberries to burn
- 1000g of cranberries
8
Once the cranberry mixture has a loose, jam-like consistency, add the sugar and bring back to the boil
- 400g of brown sugar
9
Reduce the heat and simmer for a further 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly
10
Once warm, taste for sweetness and add sugar, if necessary - you are looking for a balance between sweet and sour. Transfer to a jar and freeze (if storing for more than 3 days) or refrigerate
11
For the bread sauce, blitz the bread in a blender until you are left with chunky breadcrumbs. Alternatively, use your hands to tear up the bread
- 100g of white bread, crusts removed
13
Add the breadcrumbs and stir until the bread softens. Add the cream, nutmeg and seasoning. Cool, then chill before use (or freeze in an airtight container until needed)
