Ginger-Cinnamon Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients:

  • 12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup orange juice (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Rinse the cranberries under cool water and pick through them to remove any stems or damaged berries.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
  3. Add the cranberries to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. You will notice the cranberries popping as they cook.
  4. Stir in the grated ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and vanilla extract. If you’d like an extra burst of flavor, add the orange juice at this point.
  5. Continue to simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld together. If you prefer a smoother consistency, you may mash the sauce with the back of a spoon or use an immersion blender.
  6. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
  7. Transfer the ginger-cinnamon cranberry sauce to a serving dish and refrigerate until you are ready to serve. This sauce can be made a day in advance, making it a great time-saver for your holiday meal.
