Tis the season to enjoy a lot of cranberry sauce, if you do enjoy such, and over Thanksgiving I was able to use Tazo's Wild Sweet Orange Tea in this homemade cranberry concoction:
1 12 ounce package fresh whole cranberries
8 ounce cup strongly steeped Tazo Wild Sweet Orange Tea
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup orange marmalade
pinch of powdered ginger
1 teaspoon Sure-Jell fruit pectin (optional)
Rinse cranberries and place in a medium saucepan. Add tea and let cranberries simmer at a low boil until they begin to pop open, then stir in sugar. Continue to stir and simmer for a few more minutes then add marmalade, ginger and Sure-Jell powdered pectin. The fruit pectin isn't necessary but will give the cranberry sauce a bit more firmness; allow to cool and set before serving.
