Ingredients
- 250 g cranberries
- 150 g sugar
- 120 ml water
- 1 orange Zested and juiced
Instructions
- Rinse the cranberries thoroughly under cold water and remove any stems or blemished berries.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the cranberries, granulated sugar, water, and the zest and juice of one orange.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally during this process.
- Taste the cranberry sauce and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more sugar, a tablespoon at a time, and stirring until it's dissolved.
- Once the cranberry sauce reaches your desired thickness and sweetness, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Transfer the cranberry sauce to a serving dish or a jar if you plan to store it. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Allow the cranberry sauce to cool completely before serving. You can refrigerate it for a few hours before serving for an even thicker consistency.
