Ingredients

  • 24 ounces fresh cranberries 2 packages
  • 1 orange
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • ½ cup organic sugar or to taste
  • 2 Tablespoons ginger freshly grated
  • 2 Orange Spice or Earl Grey tea bags

Instructions

  • Place rinsed and sorted cranberries into a heavy bottomed sauce pan. Add zest of one orange, grated ginger, sugar and orange juice.
  • Remove peel and pith from orange and roughly chop the orange flesh. Add to other ingredients.
  • Tie tea bags onto pan handle and ensure the the tea bags have continued contact with the cranberry mixture.
  • Over medium heat, cook cranberry mixture until jammy, stirring frequently. Individual cranberries will have softened and popped, and a spoon dragged across the bottom should reveal the pan briefly.
  • Remove the tea bags and allow the cranberry mixture to cool completely. Serve in your prettiest glass or crystal bowl.
