Derf's Note:

Lovely with poultry of any kind, also nice with pork. (I think this originally came from Reader's Digest).

I know many only think of cranberry sauces and relishes during the fall and winter holidays, but I love them on sandwiches throughout the year and always buy extra cranberries to keep in the freezer. We really enjoyed this on deli turkey sandwiches with some nice, crisp green leaf lettuce. I did cook it a little longer, as I like the cranberries cooked down a bit more. Thanks for posting!

This was very good. The taste of the ginger in it made it unique. It was a hit at our Thanksgiving table and so easy to make too. Thanks Derf.
