Spicy Cranberry Chili Sauce

Author: Flavelo
Sauces and Gravies Recipes
Opposites attract in this bold sauce. The tartness of cranberries and the heat of chili peppers create a complex profile that pairs perfectly with rich meats (duck, venison) or fried cheese (like Camembert). The fruit's natural pectin ensures a perfect gel texture without additives.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Small Saucepan: For cooking.
  • Immersion Blender: Optional, for a smoother texture.

Instructions

1 ✓

Combine cranberries, sugar, orange juice, and chili in a saucepan. Begin to heat.

Tip: Sugar draws water out of the fruit via osmosis, helping create the syrup.
2 ✓

Simmer on medium for 10-15 minutes until cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.

Tip: Cranberries are high in pectin, forming a natural gel with sugar and acid.
3 ✓

Stir in cinnamon and cloves in the last minute.

Tip: Warm spices highlight the fruitiness.
4 ✓

Let cool. Blend if you prefer smooth, or leave chunky for a rustic look.

Tip: Account for thickening as it cools.

Recipe FAQ

It's too runny.
Keep simmering. Also remember it will thicken significantly as it cools due to the pectin.
