Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 cup maple syrup (see note)
- ⅓ cup orange juice either store bought or fresh squeezed from a large orange
- orange zest optional (see note)
Instructions
- Begin by placing the orange juice and maple syrup in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer.
- Add the cranberries and orange zest (if using) and stir to coat.
- Cook the mixture over a medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring and pressing the cranberries to help these break down.
- After 15 minutes, you should have a thick cranberry sauce, similar to a jam consistency. Remove this from the heat and decant into a jar or heat proof bowl to cool.

Notes
- The quality of your maple syrup will have an impact on this recipe and will impart flavour. I like to use a dark maple syrup.
- If using an orange for your juice, zest this before squeezing the juice. Save the zest to add to your sauce. This is optional, but will enhance the orange citrus flavour.
