Ginger Cranberry Sauce

Key Lime Recipes, Sauces & Glazes,

From Kermit’s Kitchen

Serves 12

This recipe takes advantage of the goodness of cranberries, the great taste of Florida oranges, and the ability of Key Lime juice to heighten flavors.

Ginger Cranberry Sauce freezes well or can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.  These characteristics make this an ideal holiday dish.

Ingredients:

1 pound (about 4 cups) fresh cranberries, picked over and rinsed
2 cups Kermit’s Key Lime Syrup
Finely grated zest of 1 Florida orange
1/2-cup fresh Florida orange juice
2 Tablespoons finely minced fresh ginger

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan.

Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries pop open, about 10 minutes.  Note: Watch the clock.  Cooking this sauce for more than 10 minutes is too long.

Skim any foam from the surface with a metal spoon.  Let cool.

Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 months.  Freezes well.  Note: If prepared ahead and frozen, defrost the cranberries the day before serving.

Serving suggestion: Ginger Cranberry Sauce is a fine accompaniment to a holiday meal.  The dish goes exceptionally well with Turkey, Duck, or Capon.
