Ingredients
- 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Orange juice
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh cranberries under cool water and remove any stems or soft berries.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, orange juice, water, and orange zest. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
Step 3
Add the cinnamon stick to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 4
Stir in the cranberries and lower the heat to medium-low. Let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick.
Step 6
Allow the cranberry sauce to cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Step 7
Transfer the cranberry sauce to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving for best flavor.
