Ingredients

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

canned cranberries
1 teaspoon of orange juice concentrate
lemon zest (1/4 tsp.?)
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup champagne

Directions:

In a hurry, I start with canned cranberries in a saucepan. To this, add 1 tsp. of orange juice concentrate a bit of lemon zest (1/4 tsp.?) 1/4 c. water simmer to thicken or original consistency add 1/2 c. champagne and reduce to desired consistency.

Here in the states, ligonberries can be purchased pre-packaged in the better stocked grocery stores. They simply require some boiling water and a bit of time to reconstitute. I''ve found that one must follow the directions very closely, as overcooking leaves one with terribly mushy consistency. At altitude, this is easy to mess up. They are about $5/box. 1 box yields 4-5 goodly sized portions. I think they are made by Betty Crocker or the like.
