Ginger Cranberry Sauce – replace the can with this quick and easy recipe! using fresh cranberries and fruit, and zesty flavors of lemon and ginger, this will become the new favorite at the holiday table!

 

Ginger Cranberry Sauce @spabettie #vegan

Little Kristina always wanted to help “cook” at the holidays – my tasks included setting the table, preparing the classic Holiday Jello Salad, and plating cranberry sauce.

Even back then, I played up the irony of the canned sauce, leaving it in can form and serving it in the prettiest plate I could find – most often in an elaborate crystal serving dish. I would carefully carry it to the table as the can shape slid and wiggled around the plate.

Although I have wanted to make my own cranberry sauce, this year was the first time I actually did. I already cannot wait to make it again! First, it is so easy. Second, this stuff is amazing.

I picked up a box of fresh cranberries at the farmers market, along with some raspberries for sweetness. A bit of lemon juice and zest add layers of flavor and texture, and the best part? Fresh ginger!

I will never give cranberry sauce the side eye again. I love this stuff.

    About how many people would one recipe serve? If I can’t find fresh peaches anywhere, what would be the next best healthy option for a peach?

      hi Laurie, this recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups, or about the equivalent of one can cranberry sauce? it is easily doubled if you have a large crowd, and makes great leftovers.

      I would say any stone fruit would sub well, perhaps a pear? you could use an orange, another great flavor in cranberry sauce.

      cheers!

        I know, I don’t expect people to comment all the time… yours just came at a perfect time, I had just received one of those rare bullies being negative. *sigh* so it was a very welcome compliment! 😀 thank you for reading, Jenn!
