Orangey Cranberry Sauce

I HATE that weird gelatinous stuff that plops out of the can.  This however is magic.

Servings: 2 ½ cups

Hardware:  Measuring spoons and cups, a sauce pan, a wooden spoon

Time:  Prep: 2 minutes, Cook:15 minutes

Ingredients: 

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1-12 oz package of fresh cranberries
• ¼ cup orange preserves
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water 

This is intensely beautiful and tart and sweet.

1. Wash and pick over cranberries.
2. Place butter and cranberries in a sauce pan over medium heat.  Cook until the berries begin to burst (about 2 minutes), stirring occasionally.
3. Stir in the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
4. Reduce heat and boil gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serve warm or cold.
