Instructions

Place the sugar and orange juice in a medium pan over medium high heat. Bring to a simmer.
Add the cranberries, orange zest and salt, then simmer for 8-10 minutes or until cranberries have burst. If you prefer a chunkier sauce, add 3/4 of the berries, then after the cranberries have burst, stir the remaining 1/4 berries in.
Let the cranberry orange sauce sit at room temperature until cool, then transfer to a container and store in the fridge until you're ready to serve it.

Notes

I prefer fresh cranberries, but frozen cranberries will also work fine.
You can either add all the cranberries in at once, or add half, then stir in half later on so that there are some whole berries in the final sauce.
I like to use fresh squeezed orange juice whenever possible.
