I bought a large stuffed turkey breast from our local organic meat
provider. We had mashed potatoes and my signature cranberry sauce:

Preparation time, under 5 minutes
Cooking time, varies but about 8-10 minutes

2 pkg fresh cranberries
1.33 cup fructose (or 2 cups regular sugar)
1/4 cup fresh ginger, chopped fine
1/2 cup water

Cook the cranberries on medium heat until they begin to pop, add
water, ginger, sugar and stir. Avoid causing bubbling as it can be
very painful. Cook only until pieces are burst and there is syrup
but not until all of them are mushed. You don't want it to reduce at
all. Best eaten hot. It should be tart and sweet at the same time.

We had no leftovers to speak of.

Tonight, we're doing a stuffed pork roast from the same provider.
Not having to dick with the food is taking a lot of the pressure off
the cook (moi).

Thanks for posting your recipe. I generally make my cranberry sauce with
orange zest and juice. The ginger is an interesting twist. We'll have to
give it a try.

I have never had leftovers from any amount of cranberry sauce I've made
by using this recipe. Let me know how you like it.

Thanks, Michel. It's fun to try variations on the old stand-bys. I'll let
you know. Should be in about a week.

For my cranberry sauce I add sugar, orange juice, orange peel and zest, a
little ginger , and Walnuts, which give it an interesting flavor, crunch and
eye appeal.
I always toss an extra pack of cranberries in my freezer--they keep for
months.

Oh my ... I'm going to have to stock up on cranberries so I can try a
variety of approaches. This sounds fantastic.

My cranberry sauce had 1/2 cup sugar to the package of fresh
cranberries, 2 cinnamon sticks, and 1/3 cup maple syrup. I confess I
make this whenever I feel like it. Several times a year. Great with
meat. Terrific on scones. Wow with yogurt. Zee

My God, that sounds GREAT Michel! I like to really cook the berries down
with some spices, a bunch of dried fruits (cherries, figs, apricots,
mangoes, etc.) aples, organes, red wine and a little Sure Jell to thicken it
up. But fresh ginger in the cranberries sound superb. I think I'll try that
with the next bag.

(I've also got to remember to stock up becuase the grocery stores in my neck
of the woods seem to stop ordering cranberries on Dec. 26. Argh!)

YUM! You can call it cranberry "conserve" now.

Yes, they're generally available most of the year. Just in case, toss a couple
of bags of cranberries in the freezer--they stay good for many months.

Hey, that sounds pretty classy. Beats "cranberry stuff," which is what
we'd probably call it around here. <G>

No clue. I'll find out on Thursday and report back.
