Instructions:

  1. Combine the agave syrup, honey, cranberry juice, orange juice, and five-spice powder in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a steady simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Add the cranberries, boost the heat to medium, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring often, until most of the cranberries have burst open and the mixture has thickened. Do not cook beyond 15 minutes or the pectin will start to break down. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Spoon the cranberry sauce into the silicone mold (or molds) and cool on the counter for 30 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, overnight would be even better. (See note)
  4. Turn the mold onto a plate lined with lettuce leaves and serve with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of candied ginger.
