Instructions:
-
In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the dried apricots and cranberry juice cocktail. Let them soak for 10 minutes, allowing the apricots to plump up and absorb the flavors of the juice.
-
After soaking, add the cranberries, sugar, and grated fresh ginger to the saucepan with the apricots and cranberry juice.
-
Heat the mixture over medium heat until it reaches a gentle boil.
-
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves and the cranberries soften and burst.
-
After 10 minutes, the sauce should have thickened slightly. Remove it from the heat and allow it to cool down to room temperature.
-
Once cooled, cover the saucepan and transfer the Apricot Cranberry Sauce to the refrigerator. Let it chill for a few hours or until it’s well chilled.
-
Serve chilled and enjoy this flavorful sauce alongside your favorite dishes, whether it’s roasted turkey, grilled chicken, or even as a topping for desserts like cheesecake or ice cream.
