Spicy Cranberry Sauce

The sweet and sour taste of cranberry jam. Love it! It's a perfect base for a rather untypical BBQ sauce! The Spicy Cranberry sauce. Adding a touch of heat and a sip of whisky and a couple of other flavorizers and your Cranberry Jam turns into a delicious tasting slightly spicy sauce. Delicious with a piece of game or with the Bloody Meatballs I'm about to share later this week! Stay tuned.

Total Time 35

Ingredients

200 gr cranberry jam
1/2 apple
4 Tbsp orange juice
3 Tbsp whisky
1 Tbsp Honey
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp piri piri or other hot sauce (at taste)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp freshly grated

Instructions

Add some oil to a saucepan and bake the spices for a couple of minutes to release their flavors.
Bake the apples until they are caramellized and soft. Gently stir them to prevent the apples from burning.
Quench with whisky and add the other ingredients.
Let simmer on a low heat source to reduce the sauce.
Mix the Cranberry hot sauce and give it a taste. Add some more ingredients at taste.
The sauce should be sweet and sour with a soubtle tangy touch. If you're not a fan of the subtle bitter taste you can add some extra salt or sugar to cover it up. I like the sauce with a subtle touch of heat. If you want more heat you can add more (or a hotter) hot sauce.
