Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 24 ounces cranberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 oranges (zested and juiced)
  • 3-4 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or 1 cinnamon stick)
  • 5 cloves
  • 4 star anise
  • 1/2-3/4 cup maple syrup

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Rinse the cranberries and discard any stems. Add to a large oven-safe skillet with a lid. Add the orange juice, zest, and ground cinnamon. Stir to combine.
  • Add the cloves and star anise to a small spice filter bag. Nestle the bag and the rosemary sprigs in the cranberries. Cover and roast in the oven for 30 minutes.
  • Turn the oven up to 400 degrees. Remove the cover and roast for another 30 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the spice filter bag and the rosemary sprigs and discard. Stir the sauce, and with the back of a spoon, smash the cranberries to the desired consistency.
  • Taste the cranberries to check for sweetness. Add more maple syrup if desired.
  • Let cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
