It’s that time of year, again, and I really enjoy cooking Thanksgiving dinner. So I thought I would share a few recipes. First up, is a side dish or condiment that will wow your guests, and it only takes about 15 minutes to make.
Ingredients
- 1 package cranberries 12 oz.
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 1/3 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 orange zest
- 1/3 lemon zest
- 2/3 tsp fresh ginger
Open the package of cranberries and place them into a saucepan. Add 1/2 cup orange juice, 1 1/3 Tbsp lemon juice, and 1/3 cup sugar.
Zest the orange, lemon, and fresh ginger root on to a clean cutting board using a kitchen zester, such as the Microplane kitchen tool shown. Add the orange, lemon, and ginger zest to the cranberries in the saucepan.
Set on medium heat. Bring to a boil.
Stir the cranberry sauce, as the cranberries burst. Reduce heat, if needed.
Use a spatula to break down the cranberries further, if you prefer smoother sauce. Add a touch of sugar, if the sauce is too tart. When your cranberry sauce has reduced and thickened, it should look like the picture below.
Transfer to a bowl.
Be sure to double the recipe, if you would like leftovers for turkey sandwiches. You will be surprised how quickly this cranberry sauce disappears!
