Cranberry-and-Golden-Raisin Sauce


Ingredients
¹⁄³ cup golden raisins
¼ cup Grand Marnier
½ cup dark-brown sugar
¹⁄³ cup maple syrup
1 cup orange juice
1 lb. fresh cranberries, rinsed
1 T freshly grated ginger
1 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. nutmeg
½ tsp. five-spice powder

Directions
In a heatproof container, microwave the raisins with the Grand Marnier for 20 seconds. Cover and rest at room temperature overnight. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar and maple syrup, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Carefully add the orange juice and bring to a simmer. Add the cranberries, ginger, and spices and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. Check consistency (the sauce should be thick, but not so a spoon will stand upright in it), adding water to thin if necessary. Add the raisins and serve. Serves 6.
