Orange Cranberry Sauce

      A short post to be sure, but cranberry sauce is quick and easy.  I personally can't put oranges in my sauce, but I know most people love it, so here goes.  In a medium sauce pan combine
1 bag (12 oz) fresh cranberries
1 cup orange juice
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 tangerine - I like them because they have a thinner peel, cut it in half and thinly slice it with the peel on.  
2 star anise
1 cinnamon tick
4 pieces crystallized ginger
stir everything together and cook on medium low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, until it reduces enough to have a sauce like consistency.  Serve Warm.
