Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups water
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 0.125 tsp salt
Instructions
Rinse and sort the fresh cranberries, discarding any that are shriveled or soft.
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
Grate the fresh ginger into the saucepan using a microplane or fine grater.
Add the cranberries to the saucepan and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and allow the cranberries to simmer. Stir occasionally as the berries begin to burst, about 8-10 minutes.
Once most of the berries have burst and the sauce has thickened, remove the saucepan from heat.
Stir in the lime juice, lime zest, and salt. Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness or lime as needed.
Let the cranberry sauce cool to room temperature. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Transfer to a serving dish or airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
