Now here's an idea to please both sides of the cranberry sauce debate: Start with canned sauce (it contains just the berries and sugar), and elevate it with aromatics like orange zest and candied ginger.

Ingredients

1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce, such as Ocean Spray
2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest, plus 2 tablespoons fresh juice
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons finely chopped candied ginger
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

In a bowl, stir together cranberry sauce, orange zest and juice, cinnamon, ginger, and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 week.

Cook's Notes

If you prefer a smooth jelly, purée the relish in a food processor until smooth; refrigerate until ready to serve.
