I took three of my favorite cranberry sauce recipes and combined them to come up with this recipe. The supreme Saigon cinnamon I used is more potent than most cinnamon brands sold in stores.

Ingredients

1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 (12 ounce) package fresh cranberries, rinsed
1 medium orange, finely zested, divided
1 crystallized ginger
¼ cup chopped pecans
⅛ teaspoon cinnamon (such as Supreme Saigon®)

Steps:

Combine orange juice and both sugars in a saucepan over medium heat and allow the sugar to melt down. Add cranberries, 3/4 of the orange zest, and crystallized ginger.
Cook sauce, mashing down berries, over medium-low heat for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, toast pecans in a small skillet over medium heat until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
Stir cinnamon and chopped pecans into the cranberry sauce until well combined. Transfer cranberry sauce to a serving dish and top with remaining orange zest.
