Cranberry Sauce

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup cane sugar
3 cups (12 oz) cranberries
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp dried ginger
big pinch of salt
juice and zest from half a navel orange
1/2 tsp vanilla

Combine water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat and simmer until sugar is dissolved.  Add the cranberries, cinnamon, ginger, salt, orange juice and orange zest and simmer until cranberries begin to burst, around 15 minutes. If the cranberries are slow to burst, they can be lightly crushed against the side of the pan with a fork. Stir in the vanilla, then remove from heat and let set in a bowl or mold.
