Calendar Girls Curvaceous Cranberry and Kumquat Sauce With Port image

I don't know if any of the Calendar Girls actually make this sauce, but it was published in the Woman's Institute Christmas Cookbook, so it is possible that they may have made it! This is my own recipe based on that WI recipe - vibrant, curvaceous and colourful plump fresh cranberries cooked with fresh kumquats, port and orange juice - then throw in a cinnamon stick just for good measure! If you are making this for children or those who don't drink alcohol, just leave out the port and add extra orange juice. This sauce will sit quite happily in the fridge - once made - for up to a week; it can also be frozen - just take it out the night before you need to serve it, and thaw it overnight, then gently reheat on the day.

This sauce is a great way to use up leftover cranberries. I always have a bag of cranberries in my freezer, so I can make this sauce anytime.

I made a double batch of this sauce and froze half of it. It reheated beautifully.

I didn't have any kumquats, so I used oranges instead. The sauce still turned out great.

This sauce is too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred a more tart sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sauce turned out really runny. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This sauce is a bit tart for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be great served with a sweeter dish, like pork chops.

This is my new go-to cranberry sauce recipe. It's so much better than the canned stuff. I love that it has a little bit of a kick from the port wine.
