  Wow! This is fantastic! I made the Cranberry and Chilli recipe at the same time, but it wasn't nearly as good as this is!

  This recipe is great, very easy to make and absolutely delicious, it is very very tart though so i added more sugar as suggested. This is going to be an annual favourite , Thank You.

  Fab! a complete doddle to make and makes your house smell really christmassy too (potpourri and cooking... what's not to like?) - I've made this for family and sold it at my daughters' Christmas Fair - everyone loves it, a real winner every time.

  Super recipe! I haven't added extra sugar. I love the tartness. I'm freezing it ready for Christmas.
