Thankfully, making this orange ginger cranberry sauce recipe is pretty quick and easy.
To begin, you’ll heat the cranberries, orange juice, sugar and water in a medium pot until it comes to a boil. You want to stir continuously until the sugar dissolves. Next, add the minced ginger and salt, and lower the heat. Continue stirring for about 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens.
Finally, remove the pan from the heat, stir in the Grand Marnier, and place in a serving bowl. Refrigerate 2-3 hours so it gets nice and chilled before serving with your holiday turkey!
