Recipe Description

My Gingery Cranberry Sauce is a great Thanksgiving turkey accompaniment. I like cranberry sauce but sometimes I find it can be a bit one-dimensional. This recipe is different because it has fresh ginger to bring some added depth and warmth. 

All you have to do is place all the ingredients in a large pot and bring it to a boil. Reduce and simmer until the sauce thickens and the cranberries burst. The great thing is that you can make this cranberry sauce a few weeks in advance and store it in a cool dry place until you are tucking into your turkey dinner.  

To make Gingery Cranberry Sauce, you will need the following ingredients:

I made the Gingery Cranberry Sauce for Thanksgiving and it was a hit. The fresh ginger really adds a nice warmth. I did find it easy to prepare. The last time I had cranberry sauce, it was too bland, but this recipe is definetly a keeper for future dinners.
