How to Make Your Own Ketchups & Sauces

Sauces and ketchups (catsup) are very similar although, generally, ketchups have a slightly thinner consistency than sauces. Sauces are rubbed through a sieve to give a smooth mixture and then cooked again until they are thick enough not to separate...

    I have just used this recipe for some old cranberries I found in the bottom of my freezer. The spices really come through in this recipe but I also added the fine zest of one orange in the final stages (after sieving) which really enhances the flavour. Truly scrumptious!
    Thank you!

  2. Betty Pugsley says:

    This recipe sounds delicious! My question is, as i want to give it as presents, how long does it keep and does it need to be stored in a fridge either before or after opening, please?

  3. Val says:

    Store in a cool, dark place before opening. After it has been opened, it is probably best to keep in the fridge. It should last at least 6 months.

    Hi, maybe a silly a question, but is it the fruit or the juice you keep & boil again before putting into jars?? Thank you, Fiona

  5. Diane Allen says:

    Can you substitute granulated sugar for Demerara sugar in the cranberry sauce recipe?

    Thanks

  6. Diane Allen says:

    Have just made a batch. Turned out great. So easy. I did tweak though by not sieving and leaving the cranberries in. Filled five 110gr jars. As I managed to buy some Demerara sugar for a good price in Tesco, I will stick with that.
