Cranberry ginger sauce is a classic condiment served during the holiday season, often paired with roasted turkey or pork. The tartness of cranberries pairs perfectly with the warm, spicy flavor of ginger, resulting in a taste that is both sweet and tangy at the same time. This sauce is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time to save time and impress guests.

Instructions

1.	Rinse the cranberries and add them to a saucepan.
2.	Add the cranberry juice concentrate and orange juice to the saucepan and stir to combine.
3.	Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-10 minutes until the cranberries burst.
4.	Add the corn syrup and grated ginger to the saucepan and stir to combine.
5.	Continue to simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
6.	Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped crystallized ginger.
7.	Allow the sauce to cool before serving as a condiment with roasted meats or vegetables.
