Time 40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 (10 to 16-ounce) bag fresh or frozen whole cranberries,
2 crisp red apples, peeled, cored and sliced 1-inch thick
2-inch piece ginger, peeled and finely grated
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water

Steps:

Combine ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a simmer and cook until softened, reduced and thickened, about 30 minutes. Cool fully before serving.

Tips:

Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor.
If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries. Just thaw them before using.
If you don't have crystallized ginger, you can use fresh ginger. Just grate it finely.
If you don't have mascarpone cheese, you can use cream cheese.
Be sure to chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands.
If the dough is too sticky, you can add more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it is no longer sticky.
Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the pinwheels.
Bake the pinwheels until they are golden brown.
Let the pinwheels cool completely before slicing and serving.
Store the pinwheels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Ginger cranberry pinwheels are a delicious and festive holiday treat. They are easy to make and can be made ahead of time. These pinwheels are perfect for parties and potlucks. They are also a great way to use up leftover cranberries.
