This is really, really good. Like "I'm going to make this past the holidays" good. The lime and fresh ginger add a dose freshness that's balanced out by the honey and vanilla. It's modern while still feeling traditional.
Ginger Lime Cranberry Sauce
Ingredients:
- One package of Cranberries (usually 12oz)
- 1 cup of water
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 Tablespoon of honey
- Small pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon each grated fresh ginger and fresh lime zest (this MUST be fresh. Nothing else will work. Really.)
- 2 drops of Vanilla extract
Method:
- Prepare the ginger and lime and put aside.
- In a saucepan on medium heat, heat water, sugar and honey just until the sugar and honey melt. It's okay to stir this.
- Add the cranberries and salt
- Cook the cranberries until they start to pop and break down a little (approx 10 minutes), stirring occationally.
- Add the lime zest and ginger and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add the vanilla.
- Chill and serve
Just a note: Add the lime and ginger a little at a time if you're unsure. I like strong flavors, but you might like it turned down a notch.
