Instructions

  1. Add the water and sugar to a medium-size pot and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
  2. Next, add in the cranberries and return them to a boil. The cranberries will begin to pop.
  3. Once boiling, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes or until it becomes very thick.
  4. Remove the pot from the stove and add in cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange zest and using a rubber spatula mix everything together but also press on the cranberries a little bit to help break them up more.
  5. Add the cranberry sauce to a container and cool in the refrigerator until cold, which takes about 30-45 minutes.
