How to Make Apricot Cranberry Sauce

  1. In a 2-quart saucepan, soak 1 cup dried apricots in 1 cup cranberry juice for 10 minutes.
  2. Add 1 (12-ounce) bag fresh cranberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger to the saucepan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool completely before serving or refrigerating. (Chilling enhances the flavors!)
