This Cranberry Glaze recipe is a Chinese-inspired dish that adds a tangy burst to any dish it's paired with. The addition of cranberries, ginger and orange zest gives it a unique flavor profile that sets it apart from ordinary glazes. This glaze pairs well with poultry and can be used as a marinade or as a dipping sauce for chicken tenders. It also works amazingly well with pork, tofu or even roasted vegetables. The glaze is easy to make and store. You can refrigerate it for up to a week, making it a handy condiment to have on hand for any last-minute meals.
