By natcat

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 whole orange, peel included, diced, seeded, and finely chopped in a blender
• 1 inch piece ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
• 2 cups fresh cranberries
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 cup raisins or dried currants

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium pot with a heavy bottom, combine the water and sugar and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add the oranges and ginger and reduce the heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.

Add the cranberries, cinnamon and cloves and simmer, uncovered, for about 15 minutes, until thickened. Add the raisins and cook for about 7 minutes more, until big bubbles appear in the sauce. Cool in a bowl before serving, or refrigerate for up to a week.
