This super easy sauce is a great side dish for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 navel orange
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 tsp. grated fresh ginger root
- 4 cups fresh cranberries, sorted, rinsed, and drained
- 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
Preparation:
Grate the peel from the orange, being careful to omit the white part. Juice the orange. Combine the orange peel, sugar, and ginger root in a heavy saucepan and stir with a whisk to blend. Add the orange juice and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is dissolved (5-10 minutes).
Then add the fresh cranberries. Cook and stir until cranberries begin to pop (this should take about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the toasted pecans. Cool sauce, stir to blend, then cover and store in refrigerator. Makes 3 cups sauce
