Ginger-Pecan Cranberry Sauce

It's time for the Thanksgiving table round-up. I wanted to bring all of the holiday recipes together so those of you who wait to the last minute to plan your menus don't have to do searching around too much.

I pulled this one out of the archives. It's from last year but that doesn't make it any less delicious, I promise!!

So here it is, the links for Dani d.'s Turkey Day Recipes:

Ingredients

  • 12 oz. bag of cranberries, rinsed
  • 1 cup of fresh o.j.
  • The zest of 1 orange (1 1/2 tsp.)
  • 2 tsp. of grated ginger
  • ½ cup of honey
  • 2 tbsp. of brown sugar
  • ¼ cup of toasted, chopped pecans
Serves 6-8.

Directions

Combine orange juice, 1 tsp. of the orange zest, ginger and brown sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil.

Stir in cranberries and honey and allow everything to come back to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes. You're looking for the cranberries to pop open and for the sauce to thicken.

Stir in pecans and top with remaining zest. Pop it all in the fridge until you're ready to serve!

YUM! This looks absolutely divine. I'm going to make it for Christmas. Pity we can't get fresh cranberries over here in Oz - but we can buy them frozen. Keep up the great work Dani! Love the videos. I can't wait for each new week's instalment!!
