Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 340 grams fresh cranberries
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters orange juice
- 120 milliliters water
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries under cold water and discard any that are soft or spoiled.
In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, water, and granulated sugar. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
Once the sugar has dissolved, add the cranberries to the saucepan, stirring well to coat them in the liquid.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally as the cranberries begin to pop and release their juices.
Add the orange zest, a pinch of salt, and the optional ground cinnamon for added flavor. Stir these in and let the sauce thicken slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the cranberry sauce cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve immediately, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week. Enjoy!
