Ginger Spice Cranberry Sauce – Gluten Free

Homemade cranberry sauce is on my list of really impressive things that are super easy to make. It’s like homemade cheesecake or soup. This particular cranberry sauce is just lightly spiced with cinnamon and ginger. The flavors actually get better the next day, so you might want to hide this away for your turkey leftovers Friday and serve the canned stuff on Thanksgiving. You get the best cranberry sauce, you don’t have to share and your guests are none the wiser. Some people have their big Turkey Dinner at Christmas. If you’re reading this while preparing for Christmas dinner, then this won’t work for you. Christmas is the time for sharing. However, I have found excellent success in deterring people by telling them that things are gluten free. (cranberry sauce is naturally gluten free, but you don’t have to divulge this little fact) Practice this: “Oh Uncle Bob, are you sure you want to try that? It’s the gluten free cranberry sauce….” Then let your voice trail off and curl your upper lip a little bit like you just caught a whiff of cabbage. Perfect.
A note about the sugar: Traditional recipes call for only 1 cup of sugar. This is way too tart for me. I want cranberry jam. I used a teensy bit more thank 1 1/3 cup, and I’d suggest you try the sauce while it’s cooking to make sure it’s sweet enough for you.
Happy Holidays!!
