1 cup sugar
2 red jalapenos, seeded and finely diced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 tablespoon grated ginger
12 ounces fresh cranberries
Put sugar, jalapenos, lemon juice, salt and cayenne in a saucepan on medium-high heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. Simmer 2 minutes. Add ginger and cranberries, stir to coat and bring to a brisk simmer. Reduce heat to medium and let mixture cook, stirring occasionally, until cranberries have softened and no liquid remains in pan. Let cool.
