Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.125 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and adjust the oven rack to about 6 inches from the top heating element.
Rinse the cranberries thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Spread the cranberries evenly on a rimmed baking sheet or shallow roasting pan to ensure they are in a single layer.
In a small bowl, mix together the orange zest, orange juice, granulated sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt to create a citrus glaze.
Drizzle the citrus glaze evenly over the cranberries, making sure each one is lightly coated.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the cranberries begin to burst and the glaze starts to caramelize. Monitor closely to prevent burning.
Carefully remove the cranberries from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. The glaze will thicken slightly as it cools.
Transfer the broiled citrus cranberries to a serving bowl and serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish, dessert topping, or spread.
