350g fresh cranberries
180ml orange juice
135g brown sugar
45g white sugar
Three tablespoons brandy or rum, optional

Place all the ingredients in a saucepan and cook on a medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until most of the liquid has reduced. Stir occasionally. The cranberries will pop. Remove from the heat, cool a little and serve. This can be made days ahead of Christmas dinner and brought to room temperature or slightly heated before serving. Wonderful with left-over meat.
