Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1 (12oz) bag fresh cranberries, washed and picked through (discard any shriveled or bruised ones)
  • 1/2 cup orange juice (I like Simply Orange or freshly squeezed)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/3-1/2 cup honey, pure maple syrup, or agave (use syrup or agave for vegan)
  • 1-2 tsp fresh orange zest
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • pinch salt (optional)

Instruction

  • Wash and sort through cranberries, discarding any shriveled or brown berries.
  • Pour cranberries into a medium saucepan. Pour in orange juice, water, and honey. Add 1 tsp fresh orange zest and cinnamon.
  • Stirring frequently, bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook about 20 minutes, or until most of the cranberries have “popped” or burst. If you like completely smooth sauce, you can mash the remaining berries (or toss everything into a blender).
  • Taste sauce and add additional orange zest or honey as desired. If you like, add a tiny pinch of salt and stir in.
