Ingredients
- 14.5 oz canned cranberry sauce whole or jellied
- ¼ cup water
- ¾ cup orange juice
- 2 teaspoons orange zest optional
- 1 cup sugar
Instructions
- If using canned whole cranberry sauce: pour it into a small pot and bring it to a low boil. Once it starts to boil, lower heat and let it simmer. If using jelled sauce: Cut it up into large cubes or chunks and stir them with a wooden spoon to break down chunks. Then, add to a small pot and bring it to a low boil, and then lower heat and let it simmer.
- Add ¾ cup of orange juice and 2 teaspoons of orange zest, and 1 cup of sugar to the sauce pan.
- Simmer for 4-5 more minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.
Notes
- Look for brands that use real sugar. Many commercial cranberry sauces are loaded with high fructose corn syrup or artificial sweeteners, which affect texture.
- Avoid brands that add citrus fruits. Since you're adding orange juice, you don't want to overwhelm the taste of the cranberries.
- Make sure there aren't any chunks floating around in the can. A quick shake should take care of rogue chunks!
- Don't be afraid to mix it up. Canned cranberry sauce is extremely versatile so don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. Try adding a little orange zest, fresh ginger, or a splash of bourbon. The possibilities are endless
