Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring sugar, water, and kosher salt to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Stir in the fresh and dried cranberries, orange zest, and orange flavor liqueur. Bring to a boil then reduce to a rolling simmer. Cook until the fresh cranberries soften and pop open, and the sauce thickens and becomes jammy, about 5 minutes. Set aside and cool before serving.

Notes

  • Cranberry sauce can be made up to 1-2 weeks ahead. 
  • Freeze in an airtight container or freezer ziploc bag for up to 3 months. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight.
