Ingredients

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup orange juice fresh
  • 1/2 cup white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay
  • 1 stick cinnamon or 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 (12 oz.) package fresh cranberries (about 3 cups)
  • 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
  • 1 1/2 tsp. fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/8 tsp. red pepper chili flakes, optional
  • 1 Tbsp. orange zest

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, orange juice, white wine and cinnamon. Simmer for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Add in the cranberries, diced apple, ginger and chili flakes (if using).
  3. Simmer the mixture uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cranberries will begin to pop/burst and break down. You'll notice the sauce thicken and get syrupy.
  4. Remove from heat, stir in orange zest. Transfer to a shallow dish or bowl and allow to cool before serving. Remove cinnamon stick prior to serving. Can be made 2 days in advance.

Notes

  • Store in the fridge in an air-tight container for 10-14 days. 
  • If you don't like a chunky cranberry sauce, you can use a potato masher to smooth it out or even blitz in your blender until smooth.
  • Sauce thickens as it cools.
