CONGEALED CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Toast the pecans in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Once they darken a bit and smell nutty, remove to a cutting board. Chop roughly once cool.
• In the same saucepan, combine the light agave syrup, honey, cranberry juice, orange juice, candied ginger, and five-spice powder. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to maintain a simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the cranberries to the saucepan, boost the heat to medium, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring often, until the cranberries begin to burst open and the mixture thickens.
• After 15 minutes (no more or the pectin will start to break down), remove the cranberry mixture from the heat and stir in the pecans. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
• Spoon the mixture into a 3 1/2-cup silicone mold (or empty can)Because I get nostalgic, I usually set mine in an actual can., cover with plastic wrap, and cool on the counter for 30 minutes. Place on a sheet pan before refrigerating for at least 6 hours - overnight would be better.
• Turn out mold and serve as a side or top with whipped cream and serve as dessert.
