Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
- 1 cup Grapefruit juice
- 1 teaspoon Grapefruit zest
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries under cool water and discard any spoiled or damaged ones.
In a medium saucepan, combine the grapefruit juice, water, granulated sugar, and honey. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.
Add the cranberries, grapefruit zest, ground cinnamon, and salt to the saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
Taste and adjust the sweetness or acidity, if desired, by adding more sugar, honey, or a splash of grapefruit juice.
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature; it will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the sauce to a serving dish or an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving for optimal flavor.
