Share:
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon orange zest from 1 orange (see note 1)
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 6 ounces fresh cranberries rinsed and picked over (see note 2)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring sugar, water, orange zest, orange juice, and salt to boil. Stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
- Stir in cranberries. Simmer until slightly thickened and the berries begin to pop, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature or chill.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Orange zest and juice: Zest the orange first, then juice it for the sauce.
- Cranberries: Fresh cranberries freeze really well, so stock up when you see them. If your cranberries are already frozen, no need to thaw. Just cook them straight from the freezer and add 2 minutes to the simmering time.
- Yield: This recipe uses only 6 ounces cranberries to make 1 cup of sauce, enough for 2 (1/2-cup) servings or 4 (1/4-cup) servings.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
