1 cup Champagne

2 bags fresh cranberries

1 1/2 – 2 cups white or brown sugar (depends on how sweet you like your sauce)

2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

pinch of ground cinnamon

pinch of ground ginger

1 tablespoon orange zest

In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, bring the Champagne and sugar to a low boil until sugar is dissolved.

Add the cranberries and bring to a simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the berries start to pop. Mash them against the sides of the pan so they can release juices.

Once the cranberries are cooked down, add the orange juice, cinnamon & ginger.

You can blend this if you want a smoother sauce or not if you like your cranberry sauce a bit chunky. Pulse a few times until you get the consistency you like best.

Garnish with the orange zest.
