Instructions
- Bring the orange juice, sugar, salt, cinnamon and cloves to a boil and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the cranberries and orange zest and simmer over medium-low for about 12 minutes until the cranberries have popped and are soft. *If you prefer your cranberry sauce extra chunky, add in another couple of tablespoons of cranberries and simmer for another minute or two.
- Let the cranberry sauce cool completely and then refrigerate in a non-reactive airtight container for up to two weeks.
Notes
- *The cinnamon is optional depending on whether you want that flavor profile in your cranberry sauce. You may wish to leave it out if you're using this sauce as a condiment for turkey or as a sandwich spread. The cinnamon is a great addition though if you're using the cranberry sauce as a glaze for roasted meats or in baked goods like muffins and scones.
