Honeyed Grapefruit-Cranberry Sauce

"Grapefruit and cranberry work wonderfully well together in this easy cranberry sauce recipe. The ginger adds pungent sweetness and a hint of spice, while the grapefruit is juicy and a little bitter, almost like the citrus cousin to a cranberry. Honey adds floral notes to the caramelized sweetness of brown sugar and makes the sauce just sweet enough to elevate a savory, meaty main without overpowering it."

"Stir together sugar, honey, rosemary, ginger, and grapefruit strips and juice in a large saucepan over medium-high. Cook, stirring often, until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add cranberries and grapefruit sections to pan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high. Reduce heat to medium and vigorously simmer, stirring often, until most cranberries have burst and liquid is thickened and syrupy, 12 to 14 minutes."

Honeyed Grapefruit-Cranberry Sauce pairs ruby red grapefruit and fresh cranberries with brown sugar, honey, and fresh ginger to produce a sweet-tart condiment. Peel and section one grapefruit, reserve strips of peel, and juice remaining fruit to yield 1/2 cup juice. Stir sugar, honey, ginger, grapefruit strips, and juice in a saucepan until sugar dissolves, then add cranberries and grapefruit sections and simmer until most berries burst and the liquid is thick and syrupy, about 12–14 minutes. Cool at room temperature 30 minutes, then refrigerate at least four hours to set. Serve at room temperature; leftovers pair well with baked brie.
