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!

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?
Val @ 2:34 pm
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
