Notes

Although I love canned cranberry sauce, when I have time I like to make this homemade version, which is truly the easiest and the very best.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250 ml) granulated sugar 
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) grated orange zest 
  • 1 cup (250 ml) orange juice 
  • ½ tsp (2 ml) grated ginger root 
  • 1 package (12 oz/375 g) fresh or frozen cranberries
  • ½ cup (125 ml) chopped pecans, toasted (see Variation) 

Directions

1. In a saucepan, combine sugar, orange zest, orange juice and ginger. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Add cranberries and cook until they pop, about 5 minutes. Stir in pecans. Remove from heat and let cool.

Variation: If you don’t care for pecans, substitute raisins, currants or blueberries.
