- kettle (affiliate link)
- tea ball strainer (affiliate link)
Ingredients
- 1 cup cranberries dried
- 5 cloves
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup
- 3 sticks cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg ground
- ½ teaspoon ginger grated
Optional (and recommended):
- 1 tea bag ginger or cinnamon tea
- 1 clementine or orange
Instructions
- Hydrate. Place the dry cranberries in a bowl with 1 cup of hot water and a teabag for 5 minutes.
- Heat a pan and add the cranberries with its water.
- Season. If using the clementine, add the freshly squeezed juice and cinnamon sticks, and cloves. Cook, stirring regularly for around 5 minutes.
- Add the ginger. Once the cranberries start to wilt, add the nutmeg and simmer further. You can add water if the cranberries are drying too much.
- Add sweetener. Next, add the maple syrup and taste. Cranberries are sour, and you want to get the sweet just right. You may want to add more syrup.
- Simmer. Continue to simmer; at this stage, it should look more like a cranberry jam.
- Remove the cinnamon sticks and the cloves.
- Store. You can add to a jar, cool down, and store it in the fridge for later, or serve immediately.
