Zingy Cranberry Sauce

GrowingupSarita is one of my other favorite cooking follows. She does lots of AMAZING Mexican food and this is cranberry sauce with a flavor twist. But in the best way possible! This is a holiday must for me now. Even if I don't make thanksgiving I have to have it for my turkey sandwich leftovers. It is THE BEST! 

16 oz cranberries ⁣
1 3/4 c. Sugar ⁣
1/4 c. Rough chopped ginger ⁣
1 Jalapeรฑo⁣
1 c. Orange juice ⁣
A pinch of salt ⁣
1 lime, juiced ⁣

1 tsp orange zest , fresh cranberries to garnish.⁣

Rinse cranberries, (discarding any discolored) and place into a sauce pan. Start on low heat and when cranberries are warm, pour sugar in. Occasionally stir until sugar is melted. ⁣

In a blender, pour oj, (I fresh squeezed mine but you can use store bought), ginger and stemmed jalapeรฑo.⁣


Strain the juice into the saucepan so the sauce is smooth and doesn’t have ginger or jalapeรฑo bits. Mix and simmer until sauce reaches a thick consistency. ⁣

Spoon out three large serving spoons of the sauce and blend smooth. Place back into sauce in pan and incorporate with the rest of sauce. (This gave the sauce texture: smooth with some cranberry pieces. You may use an immersion blender but after trying it, I preferred the half blended method.)⁣

Squeeze lime juice into sauce, add salt. ⁣

Garnish with orange zest, fresh cranberries
