Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 (12-ounce) bag cranberries 
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons dark rum
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 star anise 

Instructions

1. 1
   Add all of the ingredients to a medium saucepan and place over medium-low heat. Simmer the mixture for 15-20 minutes, until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has reduced slightly. Give it a taste (be careful, it'll be hot!) and adjust the seasonings. You may want it to be a bit sweeter. Remove the cinnamon stick and discard. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill. The cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools.
