How to Make Spiced Cranberry Sauce
- Combine 12 oz fresh cranberries, 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 cinnamon sticks (broken into smaller pieces), 6 whole cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger, zest of 1 orange, and 1/4 cup orange juice in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- If using, place the cinnamon sticks and cloves in a tea ball or cheesecloth bag to easily remove later.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until most cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the tea ball/cheesecloth bag (if used) containing the cinnamon sticks and cloves.
- Transfer the sauce to a bowl and let it cool completely before serving. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
- For best flavor, make the sauce up to 2 days in advance and store it covered in the refrigerator.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy with your Thanksgiving turkey, or as a delicious appetizer spread on crackers with cream cheese.
