Thanksgiving: Cranberry Rum-Raisin Sauce

Source of Recipe


From "Autumn Gatherings" by Rick Rodgers



List of Ingredients



• 12 ounces cranberries, rinsed and picked over
  
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  
• 1 cup raisins
  
• 1/3 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
  
• 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  
• ¼ cup dark rum
  






Instructions



1. Bring the cranberries, brown sugar, raisins, ginger, vinegar and ¼ cup water to a boil in a heavy-bottomed, nonreactive medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring often to dissolve the sugar. Reduce heat to medium-low.
   
   
2. Simmer, uncovered, stirring often, until all the cranberries burst and the juices are syrupy, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the rum. Cool completely.
   
   Makes about 3 cups.
