Most tables are not complete without cranberry. There are those who have to have the canned stuff and they are welcome to it. I have however, become quite fond of this cranberry sauce recipe.
Fresh Cranberry Sauce
- 12-ounce package fresh cranberries
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tsp. grated orange zest
- 3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 tsp. peeled and finely minced ginger root
Carrots with Ginger and Honey
(an interesting vegetable choice, I know, but change is good)
- 2 pounds baby carrots, ends trimmed and halved lengthwise if thick (can be parboiled in advance)
- salt to taste
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
- Two 2-inch pieces fresh ginger root, peeled and cut into matchstick-size pieces
- 3 tbsp. honey
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the ginger and saute, stirring, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the drained carrots and honey and cook, stirring or shaking the pan occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes, until the carrots are glazed. Serve immediately.
