This year we are trying one from Pond Hill Farm.

Makes about 2 1/2 cups, serves 6

¼ cup grape seed or coconut oil

1 cup orange juice

1/2 cup coconut sugar, coconut nectar or date syrup

1/8 cup fresh ginger (peeled and minced) or 1 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 tablespoon ginger juice

2 ounces fresh or frozen and thawed cranberries

1 cup crystallized (candied) ginger, finely chopped, divided

1 tablespoon orange zest

a pinch of sea salt

dash of lemon and orange zest

Simmer ginger briefly in oil with salt. Pour juice and sugar into a medium saucepan and  heat over medium heat, stirring often, until sugar has dissolved. Add cranberries and  bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until liquid thickens.

Add a third of the crystallized ginger and simmer, stirring often, until cranberries have  popped and sauce is thickened to desired consistency, about 10 minutes more…

Remove from heat, stir in orange zest and all but a few pieces of the remaining crystallized ginger. Set aside to let cool to room temperature. Garnish with reserved crystallized ginger and lemon zest.
