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.

GINGER-MAPLE CRANBERRY SAUCE



Ginger-Maple Cranberry Sauce image

It's just not Thanksgiving without cranberry sauce. More of a jam than a sauce, this one is cooked low and slow, with aromatic kicks from ginger, orange zest, and maple syrup. Clearly, it's destined for turkey, but we'd also pair it with cheese, or even drizzle it over ice cream.

Homemade cranberry sauce cranked up a notch, with pure maple syrup and brown sugar, lemon zest, and a litany of warming, elevating spices.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces about 3 cups fresh cranberries, picked over, shriveled cranberries discarded
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup pure maple syrup + more to taste
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
Zest from 1 medium lemon (save a little zest for the garnish if desired)
1 3-inch cinnamon stick
4 green cardamom pods
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch ground cloves

Steps:

  • Set a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add water, 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, and remaining ingredients. Stir to combine. Bring to a low bowl and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the berries have burst and a sauce has formed, about 12 minutes. Taste and add additional pure maple syrup if desired (some cranberries are tarter than others, so you may need more than the recipe calls for). Remove from heat.
  • Remove cinnamon sticks and cardamom pods. The pods should be easy to spot because they swell and lighten up when cooking.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve, for up to 10 days. Or place in the freezer for up to 3 months.
