1. Tip the port and sugar into a pan and bring to the boil. Add the cranberries, then cook for 5 mins for frozen and 8-10 mins for fresh until tender, but holding their shape. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Will keep in the fridge for 1 week or freeze for up to 6 weeks. Thaw for 2 hrs or overnight before serving.

  I used demerara sugar and half the port (too good a vintage to use it all!) and made up the rest with orange juice and water. Lovely flavour and colour but it did not thicken as much as I would have hoped. Will use less liquid next time. In the freezer to use on Christmas Day!
