Cranberry Sauce Recipe

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup sugar (granulated, light brown, 200g)

¼ cup orange juice (1 orange, 60ml)

¼ cup water (60ml)

1 (12-ounce/338g) bag cranberries (fresh or frozen)

2 teaspoons orange zest (1 orange)

Directions

If using fresh cranberries, rinse the cranberries and discard and shriveled or brown ones. Reserve a handful of cranberries and place the rest in a medium saucepan. (If using frozen cranberries, you don’t need to rinse or thaw them.)

Add the sugar, orange juice, water, and orange zest. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberry mixture starts to simmer, about 10 minutes.

Decrease the heat to medium-low and stir occasionally, cooking until the berries burst and the liquid thickens the desired amount, 5 to 10 minutes. (Keep in mind the sauce will thicken as it cools.) Stir in the reserved berries. Remove from the heat. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold.
