For a deeper ginger flavor, add the grated ginger at the beginning of the cooking process. A pinch of lemon zest can be added for a more pronounced citrus aroma. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the tartness of the cranberries and apples. This sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Try adding a splash of orange juice or a tablespoon of orange liqueur for an extra layer of flavor.
