CINNAMON AND GINGER CRANBERRY SAUCE
This home-made cranberry sauce can be made in minutes; is ridiculously easy; and absolutely scrumptious. Once you make this, you will never be caught dead buying a jar of pre-made cranberry sauce again. I have always loved cranberry sauce, and this blend is a winner. I have deliberately kept it very basic. I just love the simplicity of the flavors - the hint of spice that is lifted with the zest of the oranges. But feel free to jazz this up; blend and taste; and add in the quantities of cinnamon, ginger and sweetener that work for you. This was my perfect blend. But you might want more spice. I liked just a hint, in order to let the cranberries have their moment. Just remember that the flavors will infuse in the fridge. Like a good sangria - this actually tastes better with time. If you can wait that long! Make a double or triple batch and take as glorious home-made gifts for those Christmas parties this year. This sauce is fantastic for the Christmas table.

Steps:
- Bring the raisins, cherries, cranberries, orange juice and water to the boil.
- Simmer for about ten minutes or until some of the cranberries start to burst open. Some will burst open and some will not. This gives a great texture.
- Now add in the agave nectar, ginger juice, orange zest and cinnamon and simmer for a few more minutes just to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can place a stick blender into the pan and blend a little if you want a smoother consistency.
- Chill in the fridge for at least a few hours to allow the sauce to thicken and the flavors to infuse. This tastes even better the next day.

Tips:
- Fresh cranberries: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh cranberries. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but they may be a bit softer.
- Zest the orange: To get the most flavor out of the orange, zest it before juicing it. The zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the sauce.
- Use a variety of spices: Cinnamon and ginger are classic holiday spices, but you can also add other spices like nutmeg, cloves, or allspice. Experiment until you find a combination that you like.
- Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar you add to the sauce is up to you. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Cook the sauce until it thickens: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it's too thin, cook it for a few minutes longer.
- Serve warm or cold: Cranberry sauce can be served warm or cold. If you're serving it warm, reheat it gently over low heat until it's just warmed through.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator: Cranberry sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
This cinnamon and ginger cranberry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that's perfect for the holidays. With its bright, tart flavor and beautiful red color, it's sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
