Servings: 2 cups

Ingredients

  • 12 ounce bag fresh cranberries
  • 1 orange zested
  • ¾ cup orange juice
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

Instructions

  • In a medium-size skillet add all the ingredients.
  • Cook over medium-high heat for about 25 minutes or until the berries have popped and cooked down into a thick jelly-like consistency.
  • If the mixture is bubbling too much turn the heat down a little and continue cooking until done.
  • Let cool and serve.

Notes

You can also cook this in a pot but I like doing it in a skillet because it cooks faster and more even. Also, the berries will pop while cooking and this is totally normal.
