Ingredients
- 12 oz. Cranberry $2.99, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup sugar $0.18
- 1 cup water $0.00
- 1 small orange $0.99
Instructions
- Add the sugar and water to a medium saucepot. Stir to combine. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
- Rinse the cranberries, then add them to the boiling sugar water, and place a lid on top. Allow the water to come back up to a boil, at which point the cranberries will begin to pop.
- Once all the cranberries have popped, remove the lid, give it a stir, and turn the heat down to medium-low. Let the pot continue to simmer over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the cranberries have completely broken down and the mixture has thickened. You can simmer longer if you prefer an extra thick sauce.
- While the cranberries simmer, zest and juice the orange
- Once the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in2 Tbsp orange juice and 1/4 tsp zest to the sauce. Allow the sauce to cool slightly, then serve.
Notes
- *Mix up the flavor by adding your favorite mix-ins! Jalapeños, red wine, apples, dried figs, raspberries, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, vanilla extract, ginger, and balsamic vinegar are all fun ideas. Start by adding a small amount of your chosen flavor variation, and adjust to taste.
