jalapeño ginger Cranberry sauce

Forget about the canned cranberry sauce and make it fresh on the stovetop instead. Add my jalapeño ginger cranberry sauce to your Thanksgiving table spread.

Ingredients:

12 oz cranberry bag

1 cup of water

1/2 tsp lemon zest

1 tsp orange zest

1 tsp grated ginger

1/2 tsp maple syrup

1/4 cup orange juice

1 tbsp finely chopped jalapeño

1/2 cup white sugar

the juice of half a lemon

Directions:

1. In a medium sized sauce pot, add all of the ingredients except the sugar to the pot. Bring to a simmer on low heat and cover with a lid for 15 minutes. Give the ingredients a stir every 5 minutes to prevent the bottom of the sauce from burning.

2. Once the cranberries become jammy, stir in the sugar and let it simmer for another 15 minutes.

3. Add the cranberry sauce to a bowl and let it cool before serving.
