Testers praised the aroma of stewed apples and cinnamon and described this as a perfect accompaniment to a Christmas roast. RUNNER-UP Stokes Cranberry and Orange Sauce 78/100 £3.50 for 270g; Stokessauces.co.uk We were really pleased with the spicy fragrance and flavour of this sauce, enjoying the strong tang of cranberries alongside subtle notes of orange. Some of our testers found it too sweet – the texture was gelatinous with a thick jam consistency.
