GINGER CRANBERRY SAUCE



Ginger Cranberry Sauce image

Found on the Dessert of the Month Club Blog, this just sounds so lovely, I made it for Christmas this year, to go with Moosewood's Comprehensively Stuffed Squash, recipe #444688 - you may find this wonderful blog here: http://dessertofthemonthclub.blogspot.com (Thanks to UmmBinat for pointing me in that direction!) From the blog, "My relatives have come to expect this quick, spicy sauce every year during the holidays. I try to make this 24 hours in advance of serving to let the ginger mingle. Leftover sauce is rare, but goes well with cream cheese on toast! This recipe makes 3 cups."

Time 25m

Yield 3 cups, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 oranges (juice orange) or 3 -4 clementines, chopped & zested
1 (12 ounce) package fresh cranberries or 1 (12 ounce) package frozen cranberries
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled & grated
1 lemon, juiced & zested
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup cranberry juice
1 dash cayenne pepper
splash orange juice

Steps:

  • Rinse cranberries. Grate 2 teaspoons zest from the orange and the lemon. Juice the lemon. Remove orange peel and seeds, chop orange into 1/2 inch pieces. Peel and grate ginger root.
  • In a nonreactive saucepan, combine orange chunks, cranberries, grated ginger, lemon juice, sugar, and cranberry juice. At this point, I like to add orange and lemon zest, a dash of cayenne, and a little orange juice (Alternately, the zest makes a good garnish just before serving).
  • Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 3 to 5 minutes, stir occasionally until thickened and most of the berries have popped:.
  • Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl to cool, stirring occasionally, then refrigerate to chill thoroughly.
  • I never liked cranberry sauce until I made this one.

CRANBERRY-APPLE GINGER SAUCE



Cranberry-Apple Ginger Sauce image

Use only Granny Smith apples or a similar firm apple, this is a fantastic cranberry sauce recipe, and one that you will be making all time once you taste it! If you prefer a less sweeter sauce then reduce the sugar by a couple of tablespoons. If you don't have a cinnamon stick just add in a pinch of cinnamon powder, or omit the cinnamon completely. Plan ahead the sauce needs to chill for a minimum of 3 hours before using.
