Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large pot, combine water, orange juice, and maple syrup. Bring to a boil on high heat.
  2. Once boiling, add in the cranberries. Bring the mixture back to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and keep it at a nice and steady low boil. Cook, stirring frequently, until the berries burst and the sauce begins to thicken, about 30 minutes.
  3. Once cooked, transfer the sauce to a bowl or clean jar and let it cool completely. Then, chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Note that the sauce thickens a lot once it comes to room temperature, and even more once it's been refrigerated.
  4. When the cranberry sauce has fully cooled, stir in the orange zest and store until ready to serve.
