Ingredients
•
3/4 cup water

3/4 cup brown sugar
•
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
•
1 cinnamon stick
•
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
•
1 teaspoon grated orange zest

Directions
1
Combine water, brown sugar, orange juice, cinnamon stick, ginger, orange zest, salt, cloves, and allspice in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar is dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes.

Stir in cranberries and return to a boil over medium heat. Cook until cranberries start to burst and mixture thickens slightly, 8 to 10 minutes; sauce will thicken further upon cooling.
