<h2>How To Make Orange Jalapeno Cranberry Sauce</h2>
<h3>How To Make Orange Jalapeno Cranberry Sauce from Scratch</h3>
Prepare all the ingredients by zesting the orange and chopping the jalapeno. You will only need a saucepan and spatula to cook down this easy and quick cranberry sauce. 

Combine everything and cook it over medium heat for about 5-8 minutes or until the sauce becomes thick or jam-like. When stirring, scrape down the sides and bottom to avoid the cranberry from sticking and burning. Give it a quick taste before serving to adjust any seasoning based on your preference.

<h2> Ingredients &amp; Substitutions</h2>
<ul>
<li>Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce - you can use a canned or bottled cranberry sauce for this recipe. If you have fresh cranberries, you can make your own <a href="https://www.sidechef.com/recipes/5128/3_ingredient_cranberry_sauce/" target="_blank">Cranberry Sauce</a> with just three ingredients.</li>
<li>Jalapeno Pepper - a welcome addition to the classic cranberry sauce for an added zing to your holiday spread.</li>
<li>Orange - we need both the juice and the zest for this sauce. Orange is a usual ingredient for cranberry sauce since its tartness and natural sweetness go well together.</li>
<li>Ground Ginger - a warm spice that complements this favorite holiday sauce. Ground ginger is more mellow in flavor than fresh ginger but has that spicy with slight sweetness bite to it.</li>
</ul>
<br></br>
