🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
• 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup orange juice
• 0.5 cup water
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 1 piece cinnamon stick

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Rinse the cranberries under cold water and set aside. If using frozen cranberries or raspberries, no need to thaw.

2. In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, water, and sugar. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.

3. Add the cranberries, raspberries, orange zest, cinnamon stick, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan.

4. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

5. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the cranberries pop and the sauce begins to thicken.

6. Remove the saucepan from heat and discard the cinnamon stick. Stir in the vanilla extract.

7. Let the sauce cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.

8. Transfer to a serving dish or airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
