How to Make Eileen's Cranberry Sauce
- Combine cranberries, orange zest, orange juice, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and stir in the grated ginger and cinnamon.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Add more sugar for extra sweetness or a splash of orange juice for more tartness.
- Let the sauce cool completely before transferring to a jar or serving bowl.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
