Ingredients

  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 (12-ounce) bag cranberries
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Add sugar, orange zest, water, and orange juice to a medium saucepan. Stir to combine and then cook over medium heat until it comes to a boil.
  • Once boiling, add cranberries and cook, stirring often, until they pop and thicken, approximately 8-12 minutes. For a thinner sauce, cook less time. For a thicker sauce, cook the full time.
  • Place in a bowl and let come to room temperature, then cover and chill until ready to use. It will thicken more as it cools.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days or freeze for up to a month.
