Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Orange juice
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 stick Cinnamon stick
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries under cold water and discard any that are bruised or soft.
In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, water, and granulated sugar. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Add the cranberries, orange zest, cinnamon stick, and salt to the saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally, until the cranberries have burst and the mixture thickens.
Remove the saucepan from heat and discard the cinnamon stick.
Let the cranberry sauce cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the sauce to a serving dish or airtight container. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
