Description
This may just be the easiest recipe you make for Thanksgiving. All you have to do is put everything in a pot and cook it slowly on the stove top. If you have fresh ginger you can use that for an extra boost of flavor. If not, ground ginger works well also. Don't forget to remove the spices before serving!!!!
