Steps:
- Combine the sugar and bourbon, stirring well, in a 1-quart saucepan. Add the cinnamon, ginger, orange zest and juice. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the liquid begins to reduce a little bit, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the cranberries and vanilla bean and continue to simmer until the cranberries are soft and breaking apart and the sauce begins to thicken, 12 to 15 minutes.
- If desired, mash your cranberries with a sturdy whisk or potato masher, just to break up the cranberries, and simmer to thicken a little bit more, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and discard the cinnamon sticks, ginger pieces and vanilla bean. Allow the sauce to cool. Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 10 days -- the flavors only get better as they chill out in the fridge.

Steps:
- Coarsely crush cardamom in mortar with pestle or place in resealable plastic bag and crush with rolling pin; discard skins.
- Bring next 5 ingredients and cardamom to boil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add apricots; cook 2 minutes. Add cranberries and cook until berries pop, stirring occasionally, about 9 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Mix in lemon peel. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Keep refrigerated.) Serve cold or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and hold their shape better than frozen cranberries.
- Rinse the cranberries before using: This will remove any dirt or debris.
- Don't overcook the cranberries: Overcooked cranberries will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Let the cranberry sauce cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Store the cranberry sauce in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks: Cranberry sauce can also be frozen for up to 6 months.
Conclusion:
This cranberry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other holiday meal. The vanilla bean and cardamom add a unique and flavorful twist to the classic cranberry sauce recipe. This sauce is also a great way to use up leftover cranberries.
