Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup cane sugar or granulated white sugar
- 2 cups fresh cranberries or frozen
- ½ cup fresh orange juice about 2 oranges
- peel of 1 orange
- 1 knob of fresh ginger or 1/2 tsp ginger powder
- 5 cinnamon sticks
Instructions
- Simmer Ingredients. Add all ingredients to a saucepan over medium-high heat and give it a good stir. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and reduce heat to simmer the mixture for about 10 minutes until the cranberries burst and release their juices.
- Cool Mixture. After simmering, turn off the heat and allow the syrup to steep for at least 10 minutes for the spiced cranberry flavor to develop.
- Strain Mixture. Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl and carefully strain the cranberry syrup. Remove the cinnamon sticks, orange peel, and ginger, and gently press down on the cranberries to allow the juices to push through.
- Enjoy. Carefully transfer the homemade cranberry syrup to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
