Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
- 6 oz fresh raspberries
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries and raspberries thoroughly under cold running water and drain them well.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the fresh cranberries, raspberries, granulated sugar, orange juice, orange zest, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently to dissolve the sugar.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to a simmer once the cranberries begin to pop.
Allow the sauce to simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the cranberries break down.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Transfer the sauce to a serving dish or an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your tangy and flavorful Cran Raspberry Sauce!
