Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh cranberries
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.75 cup Orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 0.75 cup Sugar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, water, sugar, and salt. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
Add the fresh cranberries, dried cranberries, orange zest, and ground cinnamon to the pot. Mix well.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer. Stir occasionally for about 10-12 minutes, or until the fresh cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the cranberry orange sauce to cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer to a serving dish or an airtight container. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
