2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium shallot, finely chopped
1 (2-inch) piece ginger, peeled, finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 medium orange, unpeeled, seeds removed, chopped
6 dried Turkish figs, chopped
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1 (10-ounce) bag fresh or frozen cranberries
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Steps:

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium. Cook shallot and ginger, stirring occasionally, until shallot is translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in cinnamon and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Mix in orange, figs, sugar, vinegar, mustard, and 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add cranberries and increase heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until cranberries burst and liquid is reduced to a light syrup, 12-18 minutes. Let cool slightly; season with salt and pepper.
