- 0.25 cup water
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and drain the fresh cranberries, discarding any soft or damaged ones.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine orange juice, water, and honey. Stir over medium heat until the honey is fully dissolved.
Step 3
Add the cranberries, orange zest, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan.
Step 4
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer.
Step 5
Cook the cranberries for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of them have burst and the sauce has thickened.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool to room temperature. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.

Transfer the cooled cranberry sauce to a serving dish or airtight container. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to one week.
