Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons crystallized ginger, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries thoroughly under cold water and discard any that are soft or damaged.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, orange juice, and water. Stir together and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Once the mixture is simmering, add the cranberries. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries begin to burst, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the crystallized ginger, orange zest, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Let the mixture continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the cranberry sauce to cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
Transfer the cranberry sauce to a serving dish or an airtight container for storage. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
