Notes
- Frozen cranberries can be used instead of fresh. Thaw before using.
- Additional orange zest or peel can be added as a garnish.
- Feel free to adjust the sugar amount to your tastes. I feel the amount listed is what was needed to balance out the tartness of the cranberries.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can use a potato masher or the side of a wooden spoon to mash the berries after they've cooked and are soft.
- As the berries begin to burst, there can be some spatter. Feel free to use a spatter-screen if you have one, a lid, or lower the heat slightly.
