Instructions

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water and slowly bring to a boil. Once the sugar has dissolved, lower the heat.

Stick the cloves into the fresh ginger and add to the saucepan, followed by the cranberries, cinnamon stick, and chile. Adjust the heat to bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook until the cranberries have popped and the sauce has thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.

Remove from the heat and discard the ginger, cinnamon stick, and chile halves. Let cool to room temperature before serving. The sauce can be served immediately, or refrigerated overnight to allow the flavors to meld. Bring to room temperature before serving.
