Fresh Cranberry Orange Sauce
Ten minutes on the stove for a bright, jammy cranberry sauce with orange and cinnamon. Make it up to a week ahead and use leftovers on turkey sandwiches or the brie bites.
Ingredients
- 12 oz Fresh or frozen cranberries
- 2/3 cup Sugar
- 1 Orange (zest and juice)
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1 Cinnamon stick
Directions
- Combine sugar, orange juice, water and cinnamon in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
- Add cranberries and cook 8 to 10 minutes, until most berries pop and the sauce thickens.
- Stir in orange zest. It thickens more as it cools. Refrigerate up to 1 week.
