Ingredients
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 12 oz bag fresh cranberries, rinsed
- Zest of 1 orange
Instructions
- Place the water and orange juice in a saucepan. Add the sugar and stir.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook until the liquid is boiling and the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the cranberries and cook, stirring often, until most of the cranberries have burst, about 10-15 minutes*.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the orange zest.
- Cover and refrigerate until fully chilled and set up.
Notes
- *I like my cranberry sauce thicker, so I will usually cook it on the longer side. The sauce will gel up as it cools, but if you like a firmer sauce, cook longer. If the sauce is too thick, you add more liquid.
- SUBSTITUTIONS: You can also use frozen cranberries. Dried cranberries cannot be substituted, though. If you like your sauce more tart, you can cut back on the sugar by up to 1/2 cup, but you’ll also want to cut back on the liquid by the same amount. If you don’t care for the orange and cranberry combination, you can use all water.
- MAKE AHEAD: This is best when it is fully chilled, so it’s best to make a day in advance. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- FREEZE: If desired, it can be made and frozen up to 6 months.
- STORE: Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator.
