Recipe of the Month:  Cranberry sauce with fresh ginger and orange
This will make enough for 6 for your Thanksgiving cranberry sauce, to be served with Turkey and all the trimmings

Ingredients
    3/4 lb cranberries
      1 cup orange juice
      3/4 cup  brown sugar
      2 teaspoons (about 1 inch) grated fresh ginger
       2 teaspoons orange zest

Instructions
In a saucepan, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cranberries will make a delightful popping sound and open up and mixture will thicken.

Eat Well, Be well.  Happy Thanksgiving,

Monika
