Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 3 quarters cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon zest of an orange
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries thoroughly and discard any that are soft or damaged.
In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, water, and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the cranberries to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
Stir in the orange zest, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the cranberry sauce cool to room temperature. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Transfer the sauce to a serving dish or storage container and refrigerate if not serving immediately.
Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy!
