How to Make Cranberry Mandarin Salad
- Combine 3/4 cup (6 ounces) of fresh or frozen cranberries in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add 1/2 cup of mandarin orange juice, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries begin to soften and burst (about 5-7 minutes).
- Using a potato masher or fork, gently mash the cranberries until most are broken, but still slightly chunky.
- Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup (2 ounces) of cranberries and cook until they begin to soften and pop (another 3-5 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 (11-ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained.
- Let the salad cool completely, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
