Cranberry Tangerine ConserveRomulo Yanes

Throw everything in the pan, and voilà! Cranberry sauce. It’s just five ingredients simmering on the stove, but it tastes beguilingly complex. Tangerine juice and zest, fresh ginger, and plump golden raisins add a citrusy, spicy sweetness to tart, bursting cranberries.

Cooks' note:

Conserve can be made 2 days ahead and chilled.

Ingredients

2 tight-skinned tangerines
3/4 pound fresh or frozen cranberries
1 teaspoon grated peeled ginger

2/3 cup packed light brown sugar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Remove a 4-by 1-inch strip of zest from 1 tangerine with a sharp vegetable peeler (preferably Y-shaped), then scrape off any white pith from strip. Squeeze 1/3 cup juice from tangerines.

    Step 2
