If you'd like to try something a little different for Thanksgiving, check out this easy recipe. My husband Andy tasted this at a
party a couple of decades ago and has been making it ever since. It gets gobbled up in a hurry every year!
Spiced Cranberry Sauce
4 cups fresh cranberries (2 standard-sized bags)
2 cups water
3 cups sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/8 tsp ground ginger
Wash
cranberries and drain. Combine rest of ingredients in a large pot,
bring to a boil. Add cranberries, cook at medium heat for 7 to 10
minutes until the skins pop (see below.)
Mash
the berries (below.) Reduce heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes with the
lid on but askew to allow steam to escape. Stir occasionally until dark
red and thickened.
Remove from heat, pour into glass or ceramic container, and chill.
