About Ginger Cranberry Sauce
A great do-ahead dish, Susan uses freshly grated orange zest & ginger to add incredible flavor to this so-not-out-of-a-can cranberry sauce. Plunk the ingredients in the pan, stick to the 10-minute rule for cooking and you'll end up with the same beautiful result. Refrigerate for up to 6 weeks or even freeze for 2 months to make holiday prep a breeze.

Recipe
Ingredients
How-to
- Pick over the cranberries and throw out any that are too soft or look bad. Take off all the tiny little stems. Wash and dry cranberries
- Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally. You are looking for the cranberries to pop open - this usually only takes 10 minutes. If you cook much longer than that, the mixture gets too mushy
- Let mixture cool. It will thicken as it cools
Tips
Covered in the refrigerator, Ginger Cranberry Sauce can last up to 6 weeks.
It can also be frozen

Your cranberry sauce is fantastic. The fresh ingredients and the ten minute time limit made it a great sauce. I'll make it again. Thanks Susan. (Nov 26, 2008 8:23:02 PM)
