Ingredients
- ¼ cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- Juice of 1 orange
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
Pour the water, sugar and orange juice into a medium sized saucepan over medium low heat.
Cook until the sugar starts to dissolve.
Add the cranberries, orange zest and ginger to the pan. Raise the heat to the high setting and bring to a boil.
Once it boils, turn the heat down to the low setting and simmer the cranberries, uncovered, until they begin to pop and the mixture starts to thicken slightly. This will take between 10-15 minutes.
Remove from the heat. The cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools.
