On a whim, I picked up a bag of fresh cranberries. Instead of making the typical American style canned sauce, I opted for chutney with orange flavors and thought about adding ginger for extra zing.
I’m not the only person, and the suggestion of candied ginger seemed perfect. It’s available for purchase but I had some of the readily available roots on hand and decided to try making it.
I have a one word summary: yum on the candied ginger. My husband has been snacking on it, too, and kindly bought oranges for me to concoct the chutney. I look forward to trying that recipe.
Do you like cranberries? Should I brave pairing a bite of both candied ginger and yuzu peels together?

I do like cranberries...and cranberry sauce. I used to buy the jellied one in the can by Ocean Spray, but one day that store had none left...but they had the one with whole cranberries. I tried it and now this is the only one I buy. It's great for a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner with turkey or chicken, vegetables and stuffing.
ReplyDeleteI have never made my own cranberry anything, though.
I love both buy whole berried one is mine and the kids's fave.

DeleteYes we love cranberries. I want to come to your house to try this.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week. Hugs. ♥
Come on over!
DeleteYum, I like cranberries too!
ReplyDelete:D
DeleteI tried a similar recipe once for cranberries. I won't be doing that again. But, I'm not a fan, so I'm sure yours will go very well. Never tried candied ginger. Sounds good.
ReplyDeleteIt's disappointing when a recipe doesn't work out. But failure makes success all the sweeter. Doesn't it? Be well!
DeleteNot very familiar with cranberries. I think it is more common in North American than in the part of the world. It is supposed to be good for health with lots of fibre and all. Here ginger is very common, and is added to every meal in some form.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to learn the ways in which ginger is added. :D
DeleteI love those too. My fave way is the old fashioned way (what a surprise!!!) :-) I buy a pound or so, put 'em in water, boil them up with sugar added...Voila! Talk about easy! Your additions sound delicious! I may have to do some adjusting to my own way now! You made my mouth water. Happy Thanksgiving to come!

DeleteSorta meh on cranberries, but ginger is a staple 'round here; The Hubby puts some in our morning oatmeal.
ReplyDeleteThat addition sounds amazing!
DeleteI love candied ginger. I don't do sour well, but especially on an empty stomach, makes me vomit, sorry to be gross. cransberries out for me. And I originally come from near Bandon where cranberry bogs are big time.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know cranberries were grown outside of the New England region. lol
DeleteYum, I like this.

Deleteonly cranberries I like are in the powdered form for urinary tract infections ‼️😸😛
