Notes
- Storing leftovers: Let your cranberry orange sauce cool completely. Then, add it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for 4 to 5 days.
- Freezing: Once it has cooled completely, add it to a freezer-safe airtight container or bag. Lay it flat if it is in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
- Reheating: When you are ready to warm it up, reheat it over medium heat in a small pot or saucepan. Alternatively, you can pop it in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
