Carolyn's Homemade Cranberry Sauce

Here is my cranberry sauce recipe, made with fresh ginger and pecans. It is really, really good and very easy.

1 package fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 cup orange juice
zest of one orange

Combine cranberries, sugar, ginger, orange juice and zest in a saucepan. Cook on low flame until the cranberries have popped. Cook a bit more, but don't go overboard. The whole thing takes about 10 minutes. Pour into container and cool. Stir in pecans (do not put the nuts in when the sauce is hot or they will cook, and get a very odd texture). Chill overnight or at least for a few hours before serving.

This is awesome over vanilla ice cream.

A slightly different version posted a few years later:

Here is my recipe for homemade cranberry sauce.  It is really good, and very easy.

Take a bag of cranberries and make the sauce on the back of the package, substituting orange juice for the water.  To this add 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated.  Cook according to pkg directions (i.e. till all of the berries pop).

Pour into a container, and chill.  When sauce has cooled off, stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans.

Homemade cranberry sauce is also delicious on vanilla ice cream.
