Expert taste testers from Good Housekeeping say 'the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy!' 

Even though we haven&rsquo;t even celebrated <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/article/halloween" target="_blank">Halloween</a> yet, it&rsquo;s never too early to start thinking about Christmas! And the experts at Good Housekeeping agree, having just released the results of their annual <a href="https://www.goodhousekeeping.co.uk/institute/christmas/taste-tests/all" target="_blank">Christmas taste test</a>. Each year, the lucky taste testers over at GH sample hundreds of festive foods in the quest for the best. And this year, Asda&rsquo;s very own <a href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/condiments/asda-extra-special-cranberry-sauce/910002137954?utm_source=goodliving&utm_campaign=food%2Ffeatures%2Fbest-cranberry-sauce&utm_medium=website" target="_blank">Extra Special Cranberry Sauce with Ruby Port</a> beat out rival supermarkets to take home top prize.Good Housekeeping Consumer Director Caroline Bloor said: 'Our expert team and panel of consumer testers blind test an incredibly wide range of Christmas products, so we can be very confident that these results shine a light on the food and drink that tastes the best.'It&rsquo;s a must-have accompaniment to the Christmas turkey, but cranberry sauce is equally great for jazzing up sandwiches (especially ones made with holiday leftovers!), sauces and baked goods. Why not try adding a dollop of sauce to your gravy for extra zing, or topping pancakes with a spoonful of cranberry for festive flavour?The Good Housekeeping taste testers said that Asda's cranberry condiment was ‘a vibrant, glossy sauce, that's chunky and spoonable. The sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.&rsquo;<img alt="asda-extra-special-cranberry-sauce" class="ci-image ci-original" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/cranberry-sauce_GL?scl=1">You can't have cranberry sauce without the turkey and <a href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/turkey/asda-basted-large-turkey-class-a-with-giblets-serves-1114/910001025817?utm_source=goodliving&utm_campaign=food%2Ffeatures%2Fbest-cranberry-sauce&utm_medium=website" target="_blank">Asda's Basted Large British Turkey</a> was rated as 'perfect for large families.'
