How beautiful does this look? Fresh cranberries with sugar and water ready to bring to the boil and simmer into a delicious sauce ready for the turkey on Christmas Day. Of all the Christmas foods, this one has got to be the easiest to make. Except that I have this habit of leaving things on the hob. I get bored or distracted or think, I know, I’ll go finish that chapter off while I’m waiting…
Time to make sauce: 40 mins
Time to clean hob: 1 hour
As displacement activities go, mopping up hot, sticky cranberry sauce is not my favourite.
