WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
1 (12-ounce) bag fresh cranberries, washed and dried
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup water
1 1/4 teaspoons five-spice powder
Pinch salt
Zest and juice from 1 orange
HOW TO:
1. Combine cranberries, sugar and water in a heavy pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to a simmer, and stir in five-spice powder and salt.
2. Continue to simmer until most but not all of cranberries have burst, about 5 minutes. Stir in zest and juice, remove from heat, and let cool.
3. Refrigerate in an airtight container until cold, at least 5 hours and up to 3 days. Makes about 2 1/2 cups.
