Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Orange juice
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries under cool water and remove any stems or soft berries.
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, orange juice, water, and orange zest. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
Add the cinnamon stick to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Stir in the cranberries and lower the heat to medium-low. Let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick.
Allow the cranberry sauce to cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the cranberry sauce to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving for best flavor.
