Cranberry sauce

I've made this cranberry sauce for years and encourage you to try it even if you haven't had success with the dish in the past.

What you'll need:
2 cups cranberry juice
1/4 cup of apple cider
1 cup of sugar
1 orange, cut into half and sliced with peel on
1 tablespoon of grated ginger
2 bay leaves
1 cup of toasted hazelnuts (optional)
1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
1 pound of fresh cranberries

In a medium saucepan, combine cranberry juice, apple cider, sugar, oranges, ginger and bay leaves. Simmer until the mixture is reduced by half, roughly 20 minutes. Add the vinegar, cranberries and nuts. Cook until cranberries burst, about 20 minutes.
