Cranberry Sauce with Apples and Ginger
Background info: Before becoming a symbol of the holiday season, cranberries were a vital food source for Indigenous Americans for thousands of years, including as a main ingredient in pemmican (an early “energy bar” typically made from tallow, wild game, and cranberries). These tart berries were also highly valued for their medicinal properties by First Nations such as the Iroquois and Chippewa, who used them to treat a variety of ailments from indigestion to constipation.

Makes 3 cups
Ingredients
- 10 ounces cranberries (I use frozen)
- 2 medium apples, cored and chopped (Rome, Pink Lady, Fuji, or Granny Smith work well)
- 1½ teaspoons minced fresh ginger or ½ teaspoon dried ginger
- ¼ teaspoon orange extract (optional)
- Dash of Celtic sea salt
- ⅓ cup mild-flavored honey
- One small squeeze of lemon or lime juice
Directions
- Combine all ingredients except lemon/lime juice in a medium pot. If your apples are thick-skinned, you might prefer to peel them for this recipe.
- Cook over medium-low heat for about 25-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries start to break down and the liquid has mostly evaporated.
- Add the lemon/lime juice. Using a potato masher (or the back of a spoon), lightly mash the cranberries, and cook a bit longer. Cool and serve!
