Ingredients:
2 (12 ounce) bags frozen cranberries
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 medium orange, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon orange peel, grated
1/4 cup crystallized ginger, minced
Directions:
1. Combine the first seven ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes or until the cranberry skins pop open. Remove from the heat and stir in the orange peel and crystallized ginger.
2. Put into a bowl and set into refrigerator until ready to serve. You can heat this up if you like a hot sauce to put over a ham, or serve chilled to serve along with a turkey.
