About

This combination of cranberries and dark chocolate with a centre of lemon syllabub is quite simply scrumptious. Because of the syllabub it is a pudding which shouldn’t be made more than a day in advance but it is not time-consuming to prepare and really is an exciting treat with which to end a festive meal.

Method

Put all but three or four of the cranberries into a saucepan with the caster sugar and 3 tablespoons of water. Stir over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Then cover the pan and let it simmer for 6-8 minutes until all of the berries have popped and the consistency is mushy and very thick.
