Description

This homemade cranberry sauce is the perfect balance of tartness and sweetness, elevated by the bright citrus notes of fresh orange juice and the warm, spicy zing of fresh ginger. Unlike canned varieties, this sauce has a beautiful, glossy texture and deep, complex flavors that cut through rich roasted meats beautifully. It&# 226;ÂÂs incredibly easy to make, requiring just a few pantry staples and minimal effort.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Rinse the cranberries under cold water and discard any soft or shriveled berries.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, orange juice, brown sugar, and grated fresh ginger.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
  4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer.
  5. Simmer uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until most cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened to a jam-like consistency.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Serve warm or chilled.
