Cranberry Sauce

For those who like things sweet + tart + smokey + spicy, this is my favorite cranberry sauce recipe (yes, it's my favorite part of the meal):

Ingredients

• A bag of cranberries
• Fresh Ginger
• A shallot
• Brown Sugar
• Whiskey
• Real Maple Syrup
• An orange (for zest)

In a sauce pan, sauté the shallot and some fresh ginger, throw in the cranberries, two big spoonfuls of brown sugar, a splash of whiskey, a splash of maple syrup, and the zest from one orange. Cook until it's slightly runny jam consistency.
