The most basic and simple cranberry sauce consists of cranberries boiled in sugar water until the berries' skins pop and the mixture thickens. Some recipes include other ingredients such as orange juice or zest and flavorings such as cinnamon. Ours adds zest, crunch, and tang.

Easy Cranberry Sauce Recipe

1 pound fresh cranberries, rinsed and drained
2 cups of sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup chopped candied ginger
2 tsp finely grated orange peel
1/2 cup blanched, slivered almonds, toasted

Combine all ingredients except almonds in a large saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until cranberries "pop". Remove from heat and skim off foam. Stir in almonds. Chill.
