How to Make Cranberry Sauce With Crystallized Ginger

  1. Combine 12 ounces fresh cranberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the cranberries have popped (about 5-7 minutes). Don't overcook!
  4. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool completely to room temperature.
  5. Gently stir in 1/4 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to 3 days) to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
