Instructions
Making Citrus Spice Cranberry Sauce can be straightforward if you follow these detailed steps:
1. Rinse the Cranberries: Wash the fresh cranberries under cold water and remove any stems or damaged fruit.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, add the rinsed cranberries, sugar, orange juice, orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
3. Cook the Mixture: Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
4. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
5. Cool the Sauce: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool. It will thicken further as it cools.
6. Taste and Adjust: Taste the sauce and adjust sweetness or spices according to your preference.
7. Store: Transfer the sauce to an airtight container. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
