Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients Doubled Tripled 4x (Costco bag)
2 cups cranberries 4c 6c 8c
½ cup apple or orange juice 1c 1.5c 2c
½ cup honey 1c 1.5c 2c
1 apple, chopped (half may be better) 1 1 2
1 orange, peeled and chopped (try just half) 1 1 2
0.25 tsp ground cloves 0.25 tsp 0.5 tsp 0.5 tsp
0.25 tsp ground allspice 0.25 tsp 0.25 tsp 0.25 tsp
0.5 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp 1.5 tsp 2 tsp
0.5 tsp ground ginger 1 tsp 1.5 tsp 2 tsp
1 tsp grated orange zest (orange part of the rind) 2 tsp 3 tsp 4 tsp

Combine everything except cranberries and orange zest in a pot. Cook at simmer until apples are soft.
Add cranberries and simmer for at least 5 minutes, or until all the berries pop. Remove from heat and stir in the orange zest. Cool to room temperature, then chill in a covered container.
Fresh ginger doesn’t seem to work, but powdered ginger is good.
I recommend doubling the recipe! Otherwise it just evaporates or something.[1]
