Ingredients

6 total
  • 400g fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 200g caster sugar
  • 1 star anise
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 4 cloves
  • 6 lime wedges, to garnish (optional)

Method

5 steps

  1. Step 1

    Put the cranberries, sugar, star anise, cinnamon and cloves in a pan with 400ml water. Bring to a simmer, then cook over a medium-low heat for 20 mins, until the sugar has dissolved and the cranberries begin to burst. Remove from the heat; leave to cool completely, then set aside for at least 1 hr to let the spices infuse.

  2. Step 2

    Discard the spices, then blitz with a stick blender until smooth. Strain the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 7 hrs or overnight.

  3. Step 3

    Using the prongs of a fork, scrape up the mixture to create lots of rough, icy crystals. Return to the freezer.

  4. Step 4

    When ready to serve, spoon into small serving bowls and garnish with a wedge of lime for squeezing over, if you like. Freeze for up to 6 months.

  5. Step 5

    Recipe Tip: Allow extra time for infusing and freezing.
