Ingredients

  • 12 oz /350g frozen cranberries or lingonberries
  • 1 cup ginger ale
  • ¾ cup white sugar

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, bring the ginger ale and sugar to a boil until the sugar dissolves.
  • Place the cranberries in the hot sugar syrup and bring to a healthy boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Cook the cranberries for about 15 minutes until they start to burst.
  • Remove cranberry sauce from heat and allow too cool. The sauce will thicken as it cools. When cooled, place in a bowl and keep refrigerated.

Notes

If you want a classic Cranberry sauce recipe, use water instead of Ginger Ale with 1 cup of sugar (instead of ¾ cup).
