Break out of the cranberry sauce rut with this Spiced Apple Cider Cranberry Sauce! Cranberries are simmered with brown sugar, apple cider, star anise, cinnamon, cardamom and tangerine zest!
In a small sauce pot heat the cranberries, sugar, and apple cider over medium-high heat until the cranberries pop.
Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the star anise. You could stop cooking it at this point but I like to cook my cranberry sauce at least an hour.
After an additional 30 minutes remove your cardamom pods (make sure you get them all!!) and allow to cool or serve warm.
