Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups orange juice
- 0.5 cups water
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries under cold water and discard any that are bruised or damaged.
In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, water, and granulated sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Add the cranberries to the saucepan and cook until they start to pop, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the prepared horseradish, orange zest, and salt. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce begins to thicken.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.
Transfer the sauce to a serving dish or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir well before serving cold or at room temperature.
