Cooking Tip

Homemade Cranberry Sauce

Grate 1 navel orange and add to a saucepan with 1 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger. Add the juice from the orange into the saucepan and simmer over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Add 4 cups fresh whole cranberries and cook until they pop, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup toasted pecans and cool sauce, first on counter to room temperature, and then in refrigerator.
