Spiced Cranberry Sauce with Plums and Chili

4 servings

40 minutes

Spicy cranberry sauce with plums and chili is a true symphony of flavors, combining the tartness of cranberries, the sweetness of plums, and the warmth of Eastern spices. Its roots lie in Chinese culinary traditions where vibrant and multifaceted flavor notes come together. This sauce perfectly complements meat dishes, especially duck and pork, adding richness and depth to them. Ginger and cinnamon add warm spicy notes while apple cider vinegar harmoniously balances the sweetness of brown sugar. It is prepared by slowly evaporating all ingredients to reveal their aromas. Stored in the refrigerator, it becomes even more intense, and its complex flavor turns even simple dishes into culinary masterpieces.
