1. Add the cranberries, half the sugar, orange juice, spices, and ginger to a large pot.

2. Add water until it is about ½ inch below the top of the cranberries.

3. Bring to a boil, and cook for 20 minutes. The cranberries should have released their liquid.

4. Cook at a low boil for another 20 minutes. Taste for sugar content, and adjust to your taste.

5. Cook at a low boil until thick, approximately 10 more minutes. The berries will thicken as they stand and cool.

6. Remove piece of ginger.

7. Arrange blood orange segments on top for decoration.
