Spicy Cranberry Sauce Recipe

-1 (12-ounce) bag cranberries
-1/4 cup light brown sugar
-1/4 cup white sugar
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-2 teaspoons Sonoma Farm Tex-Mex Candy Jalapeño Peppers (chopped fine)
-1/2 cup water
-1 teaspoon orange zest
-Juice from 1 orange (about 3 to 4 tablespoons)
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
-1 cinnamon stick
-1 star anise

1. Add all of the ingredients to a medium saucepan and place over medium-low heat. Simmer the mixture for 15-20 minutes, until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has reduced slightly. Give it a taste (be careful, it’ll be hot!) and adjust the seasonings. You may want it to be a bit sweeter. Remove the star anise and cinnamon stick and discard. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill. The cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools.
