1 pound (4 cups) fresh cranberries

Rinse
cranberries and remove damaged berries. In a medium saucepan, combine
cranberries, maple syrup, brandy, sugar, orange zest and juice,
cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom. Bring to boil, stirring to dissolve
sugar. Reduce heat to medium. Continue simmering, stirring constantly,
until all berries have popped and the sauce is a velvety juice, about
6-7 minutes. Serve cold with roasted turkey, meats, or on sandwich.
