Christmas is nearly upon us, and anything you make in advance is a good thing. This is a great Cranberry Sauce recipe, it goes well with any meat, but in our family, we like it with poultry. If you want a shining clear colour in you sauce, use caster sugar, however, if you want a deeper flavour, go for a darker sugar. You can make this several days in advance. When the cranberries burst, they release pectin, making the sauce a little bit like a jelly.

Ingredients
-500g cranberries
-100g caster or brown sugar
-1 stick of cinnamon
-a few star anise
-a few clothes
-the zest and the juice of an orange
-a splash of kirsch

Method
1)Mix all of the ingredients
2)Leave it to simmer on a low heat until the cranberries begin to burst. Then turn the heat off.

What is amazing about the 'clothes' debate is that no one on the website corrects the spelling mistake. Do all our comments count for nothing?

Clothes? This must be Widow Twankey's recipe! Oh yes it is :)

I put my vest and pants in. You should have seen the look on my mother in laws face! Some people are so old fashioned.

Would casual clothes do or should you be wearing your Christmas outfit?

When they state 'A few', how few, is 'few'? Like 2? 3? 4? Star anises gives off a strong taste when overdone so I'm hoping to get more clarification here :( I'll just stick to adding 2 of cloves and star anise each to be safe.

As I dont have central heating in my house, and its minus 2 degrees Celsius, I had intended to have more than just a few cloths on in the kitchen. including woolly socks. I hope this isnt overdoing it, as the recipe does state clearly its just a FEW. maybe i will leave my woolly hat off. just to be safe.

Can only assume that some Hooray Henrietta employed by the site was autocorrecting what was said - it's about Jamie's accent - and corrected "cloves" to "clothes" :-)

I am a new cook. Does mean that this recipe will not work then if i mix in my French Berry? I thought it was strange and was concerned that it would be tough to eat......
