Ginger Cranberry Sauce

We have lamb for Christmas dinner, and we go out of town for Thanksgiving, so we always buy a turkey to fix later in the winter so we can have the yummy leftovers. Today is that day! I always make my own cranberry sauce, but haven't fallen in love with any one recipe so I usually wing it. I write in down in case it's good, and today, it is!

My husband and I are eating paleo at the moment, so that makes sweetening a bit more difficult. This batch turned out with exactly the right ratio of sweet and tart for me.

Ginger Cranberry Sauce

3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, rinsed and picked over
1 apple, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup candied ginger, chopped (I used a naturally sweetened kind I got at the health food store. I can't remember the brand.)

1/2 cup orange juice

10 drops liquid stevia

Put everything in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about an hour, stirring occasionally.

Cool and enjoy!
