Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring the water and orange juice to a boil. Add in the sugar and stir until it is dissolved.
- Pour in the cranberries and stir until they begin to burst, then lower heat to a simmer, add in the orange zest (if using), and allow to cook for 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Place it in the refrigerator for an hour to chill and continue thickening.
Equipments used:
Notes
- Don’t add the zest too early: Or it can become bitter in the sauce.
- To adjust texture: For smoother cranberry and orange sauce, use an immersion blender to blend some or all the cranberry sauce.
- To adjust the consistency: Use more/less liquid in the sauce. Thicken it with cornstarch if necessary. Note it thickens more when chilled.
- Leave it to cool: Not only will it thicken as it cools, but the flavors also have more time to meld.
