Instructions

  • In a saucepan, add the 12 ounces fresh cranberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup orange juice, ½ cup water, and zest from one orange.
  • Over medium-low heat, cook the cranberries until the sugar has dissolved and the cranberries start to soften.
  • Increase the heat to medium and continue to stir and cook for another 5-6 minutes until the cranberries burst. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
