cranberry apricot sauce

Cranberry sauce is a ubiquitous part of any roast turkey dinner. Whether it be for Thanksgiving or any other holiday meal, cranberry sauce is a must have. While it is a must have addition to any Thanksgiving dinner, many people opt to open a can of cranberry jelly and serve it to their guest. While this might be the easiest thing to do, it is not the tastiest option. Making your own cranberry sauce is extremely easy to make. This year make sure to make this cranberry sauce to wow your guests at your Thanksgiving meal. 

Ingredients:

1 bag of fresh cranberries (12 oz.)

1 cup of apricot jam 

1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger 

1/2 cup of orange juice 

1/2 cup of sugar 

1 cup of diced dried apricots 

Method: 

Combine all of the ingredients into a large pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium. Make sure to stir the sauce to prevent scorching. When the cranberries begin to pop you will notice that the sauce will be thicker than before. Turn off the heat and let the sauce thicken. As the sauce cools it will thicken dramatically. Once the sauce has cooled completely it is ready to serve. Make sure to keep an eye on the sauce when you are making it.
