- 2 oranges
- 2 inch ‘finger’ of fresh ginger root
- 1 cup sugar
- 12 oz bag of fresh cranberries washed and picked through
Use a grater or zesting plane to remove all of the zest from both oranges. Peel ginger and slice into a few thin disks.
Juice both oranges into a measuring cup – you’ll want about 1 cup of fresh juice. If you don’t get 1 cup of juice, top up with water or Grand Marnier.
Combine zest, juice, ginger slices and sugar in pot. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Remove from heat, allow mixture to steep for 30 minutes.
Once mixture has steeped, remove ginger from the pot and discard. Add cranberries, bring mixture to a boil.
Cook, stirring frequently, until all of the cranberries have rendered down into a thick sauce.
Remove from heat, cool to room temperature.
Chill until serving.
Garnish bowl of cranberry sauce with a little curl of orange peel, if you want to be even fancier about it!
