Spicy Jalapeño Cranberry Sauce
A tart, sweet, and spicy cranberry sauce madewith fresh cranberries, orange, and jalapeño. This is the cranberry sauce Iactually look forward to eating, not just the one I feel obligated to put onthe table.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries, rinsed
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup orange juice
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 to 2 fresh jalapeños, seeded and minced
- 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
- tbsp minced jarred pickled jalapeños,optional
- Pinchof salt
Instructions
- Combine the cranberries, sugar, orange juice, and orange zest in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most cranberries have popped and the sauce thickens.
- Stir in the fresh jalapeño and ginger, then simmer another 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the pickled jalapeño if using, along with the salt.
- Cool at room temperature about 20 minutes, then chill in the fridge before serving.
Notes
Keeps in the fridge for about a week in a sealed container. Tastes better the day after it's made.
