Ingredients
- 12 oz. bag fresh cranberries
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon zest of orange optional
Instructions
- Rinse and drain the fresh cranberries. Pick off any stems or any bad berries. Then place them in a large sauce pan. Pour in 1 cup of orange juice, granulated sugar, and orange zest.
- Mix well and then cook on medium-high heat for 5 minutes until the cranberries come to a boil. (As the liquid starts to heat the cranberries will begin to make a "popping" noise. This is totally normal!) Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, stirring often until the berries are cooked down and the liquid has thickened.
- Once the cranberries are done cooking. Remove from the heat, mix well and let sit un-covered for 30 minutes. The sauce will naturally thicken. Enjoy immediately or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Fresh Fruit: think of fresh fruit like mango, raspberries, apples, pineapples, and even grapes to your cranberry sauce. Make sure you dice into bite size pieces if you decide to add fruit.
- Dried Fruit: dried fruit also works well if you want more texture to your sauce. Think of dried fruits like dried cranberries, cherries, figs, dates, and dried apricots.
- Nuts! Yes, you can add nuts to your cranberry sauce if you want texture. Chopped walnuts, pecans, or even cashews can work in cranberry sauce.
