Categories: British, Sauces
     Yield: 10 Servings

   150 g  Caster sugar
     2    Star anise
     4    Green cardamom pods; lightly
          -crushed
   250 g  Fresh cranberries

          -juice of

 Put the sugar into a heavy-based pan with the star anise and cardamom
 pods and melt over a medium heat.

 Allow the melted sugar to turn a rich caramel colour, then add the
 cranberries and a touch of seasoning.

 Cook briefly until the cranberries begin to soften, then add the
 apples and cook for three to four minutes, tossing frequently to coat
 the fruit in the caramel.

 Pour in the port, then reduce the heat slightly and stir in the
 orange zest and juice. Simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing some of
 the cranberries to break down and thicken the sauce.

 Remove from the heat and discard the star anise and cardamom. Serve
 warm.

 This can be made three to four days in advance and kept in the fridge.
