Throw everything in the pan, and voilà! Cranberry sauce. Its just five ingredients simmering on the stove, but it tastes beguilingly complex. Tangerine juice and zest, fresh ginger, and plump golden raisins add a citrusy, spicy sweetness to tart, bursting cranberries.
Conserve can be made 2 days ahead and chilled.
