Cranberry Orange Sauce

Makes 1 cup (Recipe can be halved).

Ingredients

1 ½ cups of fresh or frozen cranberries*

½ cup of water

½ cup sugar

Juice of one orange

1 tsp of grated orange rind

¼ tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp ground ginger

¼ tsp ground cloves

Adjust spices to your liking. 

You can use 3/4 - 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice in place of the 3 spices listed. 

 Method

Boil the water, orange juice and sugar together for about 5 minutes or until
the sugar is dissolved. 

Add the cranberries and simmer about 5 minutes stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat and stir in cinnamon, ginger and cloves, or pumpkin pie spice,  and orange rind.

Mash with a potato masher.   Put in a jar or serving bowl. Cool & serve.  

The sauce will thicken when it cools.

You can store the sauce in jars.  It will keep in the fridge for a few months.

This sauce is not just for turkey.  It goes well with chicken, duck and pork. Or, you can drizzle some on vanilla ice-cream. 

* Cranberries can be frozen for 8 - 12 months.
