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
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the cranberries thoroughly under cold water and discard any that are soft or damaged.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, orange juice, and water. Stir together and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the mixture is simmering, add the cranberries. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries begin to burst, about 10 minutes.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the cranberry sauce to cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
Step 6
Transfer the cranberry sauce to a serving dish or an airtight container for storage. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
