  This makes a very large quantity so have halved mine and frozen it (half fills one cereal bowl!). Very nice flavours but think I may up the sweetness by adding a bit more sugar next time. Works out quite expensive to make in this quantity but looks so pretty when the cranberries first go into the pan!

  This recipe's flavors didn't appeal to our American tastes. Maybe it was the star anise??? Anyway, we felt it had an odd after-taste and we wouldn't make it again. The Beef Wellington we did with it however, was outstanding.

  my favourite cranberry sauce so far! although had to add more sugar as way too bitter but i suppose it depends on the cranberries so my advice would be add to taste. I also added the juice of half a lemon and half an orange just because its christmas!

  Delicious! Although, I did add my own touch. I added a nice splash of Muscat (or Port wine) -- to sweeten the red wine-- a couple teaspoons of marmalade, and I had to replace the star anise (because I didn't have any) with a cardamom seed. Oh, and I used powdered sugar. It's going in my holiday binder. It makes the house smell like Christmas! Yum, yum.

  Fabulous! This was part of my first ever full traditional Christmas lunch, and my favourite thing on the table, as it had the perfect combination of spice and bitter/sour from the cranberries. I don't like my cranberry sauce too sweet so this was perfect. I reduced the recipe, as we are only two, but otherwise did not change a thing and found it incredibly easy to prepare. I made it two days in advance and kept covered in the fridge.
