In Purr-suit Of Flavors ~ Ginger-Spiced Cranberry Sauce

 

INGREDIENTS:

12 ounces of fresh cranberries

1 apple, cored and diced

2 Tbs. of fresh orange juice

Zest from one orange

1” of fresh ginger, peeled and minced

1 Tbs. of ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp. of ground cloves

Pinch of ground nutmeg

¼ tsp. of sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

Rinse cranberries and add them to a small saucepan with ½ cup of purified water.

Heat stove to medium high, stirring occasionally. The cranberries
will begin to pop; this is normal, simply keep stirring and reduce to a
low simmer.

Add the rest of the ingredients (apple, orange juice/zest,
ginger, spices and sea salt) and simmer until everything is soft, about
15 minutes.

Store in a glass jar in the refrigerator up to a week before ready to serve.

 

Here is my own variation of this recipe: I had to adapt it because the first time I wanted to make this, I did not have any oranges or juice on hand, but I did have a jar of juice sweetened marmalade and candied ginger, instead of the fresh. I actually was pretty yummy! 

Ingrid’s Own Gingery Orange Cranberry Sauce. (No pic, as it looks about the same as any other cranberry sauce.)

INGREDIENTS:

12 ounce bag of fresh cranberries

1 15 ounce jar of juice sweetened orange marmalade…or a smaller jar is ok, if you can’t find a larger, the orangeness will be a bit less. 

I diced tart apple (Diced to about the size of the berries)

2 T finely minced candied ginger

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp cloves

a little water to thin the marmalade a bit

1/2 C raw honey, or less if you prefer a not so sweet version

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

Add all to a large saucepan, and mix well. Bring to a slow boil, then reduce heat and simmer till the berries pop. Stir often to prevent burning…

Remove from heat and cool.It will thicken up a lot. Easy to keep in a sealed container till you need it,  best served at room temp. 

Serve with your holiday meal, Delicious!  Good on toasted almond bread, too!
