Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz fresh cranberries about 3 cups–typically 1 regular bag
  • Zest + juice of 1 orange
  • 1-2 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • ¼ cup maple syrup plus more to taste if desired
  • ¼ tsp dried mustard
  • ⅛ tsp ground clove measuring spoon REQUIRED
  • Pinch salt
  • Pinch black pepper
  • 1-2 2 Tbsp water if needed

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan.
  • Cook over medium heat until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens, about 12–14 minutes.
  • Add a splash of water if it tightens too fast.
  • Taste and adjust — more maple syrup for sweetness, more ginger for brightness, and only the tiniest measured nudge of clove if you’re feeling bold. Cool slightly; it will thicken as it stands.
