Cranberry Sauce

Tired of the canned cranberry sauce? Or just want to add some easy zing to the Thanksgiving table? Look no more! This fruity sauce with a ginger kick does the job.

Add to saucepan:
1 cup red wine 
1 tbsp orange zest
1/4 cup candied ginger
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp grated ginger
12 oz (1bag) fresh cranberries
1/2 cup raspberries (optional - or any fruit of your choosing)

Cook over low heat, simmering for about 20 minutes or more, depending on how much alcohol you want to boil out. Taste after 20 minutes and if it's too strong, keep simmering. It's done when the berries burst and the sauce thickens.
