Orange-Ginger Cranberry Sauce
- 12 oz fresh cranberries, rinsed, soft ones removed
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ cup orange juice
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tsp orange zest
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch kosher salt
Orange-Ginger Cranberry Sauce
- Put the sugar, orange juice and water in a saucepan and stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the cranberries, orange zest, ginger, cinnamon and salt.
- Bring to a boil, then lower to a steady simmer. Cook, stirring now and then, until most of the berries have popped and the sauce starts to thicken.
- Press a few whole berries against the side of the pan with a spoon if you like a smoother sauce.
- Take the pan off the heat and let it cool. It will thicken a lot as it cools.
- Serve at room temperature or chilled.
