This cranberry rum-raisin sauce is another holiday staple that deserves to be served all season long. Cranberries have lots of natural preservatives in them, and this sauce keeps for a few weeks chilled. Make a batch to store in the refrigerator to serve with your turkey, and with pork chops and roasted chicken.—Rick Rodgers

Directions
1. Bring the cranberries, brown sugar, raisins, ginger, vinegar, and 1/4 cup water to a boil in a heavy-bottomed nonreactive medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring often to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
2. Simmer uncovered, stirring often, until all the cranberries burst and the juices are syrupy, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the rum. Cool completely.
Note: The sauce can be prepared up to 3 weeks ahead, covered, and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.
