Method

Begin this by chopping the cranberries in a food processor (or by hand), then place them in a saucepan. Now pare off the zest of the orange using a potato peeler and cut it into very fine shreds. Add these, with the juice of the orange, to the pan, followed by the ginger, sugar and spices.

Bring everything up to simmering point, stir well, put a lid on the pan and let it all simmer very gently for about 5 minutes. Then remove the pan from the heat, stir in the port and leave to cool. When cold, transfer the relish to a plastic freezer box and freeze. Don't forget to remove the cloves and cinnamon before serving!
