Fresh, homemade cranberry sauce is too simple to ever go with the stuff in the can. The few extra steps beyond cranking the can opener go a long way. Ginger and raisins add depth to this crowd-pleaser, enough to drizzle over all your Thanksgiving favorites.
Ingredients:1 pound fresh cranberries
2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 cup golden raisins
1 cup sugar
½ orange, juiced
ΒΌ cup apple cider vinegar
2 cinnamon sticks
1 pinch nutmeg
Directions:In a large saucepan, bring sugar and water to a boil. Add cranberries, bring to a boil, and then reduce to simmer.
