Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 3 cups

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups cranberries (1 12-ounce bag)
3/4 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
Zest and juice of 1 orange (about 1/2 cup)
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar

Preparation

  1. Combine the cranberries, cherries, shallots, vinegar, orange zest and juice, ginger, and brown sugar in a medium saucepan, and cook over medium heat until the cranberries pop. Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries release their juices, about 15 minutes. If the cranberry sauce becomes too thick, add water until the desired consistency is reached. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
