Ingredients

  • 1 12 ounce bag fresh cranberries
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar lightly packed
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger
  • 3/4 cup orange juice

Instructions

  • Mix the cranberries with the sugar, cinnamon, cloves and ginger in a small saucepan.
  • Pour the orange juice over the cranberries and spices and bring to a boil.
  • Turn the heat down and simmer on medium heat, uncovered. Stir occasionally.
  • Simmer until the cranberries have popped and softened, and the liquid has thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.

Notes

- you can choose how “chunky” you would like your cranberry sauce. I prefer to cook mine down for the full 15 minutes to turn it less chunky. If you would like the cranberries more defined and chucky, feel free to only cook it for 10 minutes or until the cranberries are just cooked through and still fairly intact.
