Instructions

- To a large pot over medium-low heat, add 1 cup of sugar, ¾ cup of orange juice, and ¼ cup of water. Bring to a gentle boil to dissolve the sugar for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add 12 oz of cranberries and 2 teaspoons of orange zest and simmer for 8 to 12 minutes until cranberries have burst. Mash with the flat edge of a spoon.
- Let it cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate. Enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust level of flavor: Increase or decrease the amount of orange juice (compared to water) to make the cranberry sauce more zesty!
