    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine all of the ingredients in a medium saucepan.
  2. Cook over medium-low heat for 18 to 20 minutes, until the fruit is tender and the liquid has thickened. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Serve chilled or at room temperature. 

Notes

  • Prepare the cranberry sauce ahead and refrigerate for a day or two to enhance flavors before serving.
  • You may omit fresh ginger if preferred, but it adds distinctive spice and warmth.
  • Freeze leftover sauce in a sealed container for up to three months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
