1 cup dried cranberries

Zest and Juice of 1 orange

1 cup naturally brewed soy sauce

2 cups cranberry juice

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup grapeseed or canola oil for cooking

In a sauce pan coated lightly with oil on high heat, saute the onions, ginger and dried cranberries until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the zest and juice, naturally brewed soy sauce, cranberry juice, and sugar and bring to a simmer. Reduce by 50% on low heat, about 10-15 minutes. Check for flavor.

Let come to room temperature, then transfer to a glass jar, seal and store in fridge.
