Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1 (12-ounce) package fresh or frozen cranberries, washed
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • orange zest (optional)

Instruction

  • Bring orange juice, sugar and water to a boil in a medium saucepan set over medium heat.
  • Add cranberries and cook over low-medium heat until they begin to pop and thickened to desired consistency, about 8-10 minutes. The cranberry sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
  • Place a bit of the cranberry sauce onto a wooden spoon and then see how thick it is when I pour it back into the saucepan. If some of the cranberry sauce sticks to the wooden spoon, then it is done. 
  • Remove from heat, add orange zest and stir until just combined.
  • Top with additional orange zest for serving, if desired.
