Cooking with Colm O'Gorman: Fresh cranberry sauce and cranberry sausage rolls

I always get very excited when I see fresh cranberries arrive in our local shops. Not only because it is a signal that Christmas is very close, but also because I adore cranberries. Christmas just is not Christmas without them. 

Be it in fluffy orange and cranberry muffins, in cookies or a trifle or in gorgeous tangy cranberry sauce, the essential condiment for a traditional Christmas lunch. I always make my own cranberry sauce. I am not a fan of the shop-bought variety. I find that they are generally two sweet and lack the depth of flavour you get with homemade cranberry sauce. It is incredibly easy to make. Some recip0es you will see use a lot more sugar than mine, which I think is a mistake.
