Fresh Cranberry Sauce

I know this is last minute as tomorrow is Thanksgiving but you really should try this cranberry sauce. Get yourself a 12 ounce bag of fresh cranberries and add the following.

Orange Juice                           1 cup
Granulated Sugar                    1cup
Red Onion, minced                 1/4 cup
Fresh Garlic, minced               1-2 cloves
Fresh Ginger, minced              2 Tbsp
Cayenne Pepper                      pinch or to taste
Fresh Parsley, minced              2 Tbsp

Combine all ingredients and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. It's best to cool over night but can easily be made the same day. Sweet and savory and goes well with more than just turkey. After Thanksgiving when the stores are trying to off their excess stock of cranberries buy a couple of bags and toss them in the freezer. Try this sauce with a roast pork loin or some pan seared pork chops. It also goes great with grilled or roast chicken or even duck for you hunters out there. Give it a shot I'm sure it's something you will definitely enjoy!!!
