What each ingredient does
- Cranberries
- Provide the tart fruit base and pectin that thickens the sauce as it cooks.
- Sugar
- Adds sweetness that balances the cranberries' tartness and helps the sauce set.
The step that matters
Strain them through a sieve. Straining removes skins and seeds so the sauce is smooth and can hold its shape in the mold.
