Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 piece Fresh rosemary sprig
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries under cold water and pick out any soft or spoiled ones.
In a medium saucepan, combine the honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, water, and salt over medium heat. Stir until the honey dissolves completely.
Add the cranberries and the fresh rosemary sprig to the saucepan. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the cranberry mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the rosemary sprig.
Allow the cranberry sauce to cool slightly before transferring it to a serving dish. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
