Mary Berry Cranberry Sauce
Mary Berry’s cranberry sauce is a traditional British-style sauce made by simmering cranberries with sugar and citrus. The cranberries burst as they cook, creating a glossy sauce with a natural set once cooled. The focus is on clean flavour, the right balance of sweetness and acidity, and a texture that is spoonable rather than jam-like.
