Ingredients

2 packages (12 ounces each) fresh or frozen (thawed) cranberries

2 cups sugar

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger

1/2 cup cider vinegar

Large pinch of ground allspice

Large pinch of coarse salt

Freshly ground pepper

4 3/4 teaspoons unflavored gelatin

Preparation

Bring berries, sugar, and 1 cup water to a simmer in a covered medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until berries are soft, about 10 minutes. Pass through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids to make a puree.

Bring 1/2 cup water, the garlic, ginger, vinegar, allspice, salt, and a generous amount of pepper to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.

Pour vinegar mixture into a small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin on top; stir until dissolved. Stir mixture into berry puree.

Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 1 week.
