Ingredients
- ¾ cup orange juice
- ½ cup sugar
- 5 cups of fresh or frozen cranberries
- Zest of one orange
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the orange juice and sugar. Stir them together until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the cranberries to the saucepan. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt to balance out the sweetness.
- Cook over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil
- Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This simmering process will allow the cranberries to break down. You can also press the cranberries with the back of a wooden spoon.
- As the sauce thickens, you can adjust the sweetness or tanginess to suit your preference.
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Grate the orange zest into the saucepan and stir. Allow the sauce to cool slightly before transferring it to a serving bowl.
