Ingredients

• 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
• 1 cup Maple syrup
• 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Kosher salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Rinse the fresh cranberries under cool water and drain them well.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cranberries, maple syrup, orange juice, orange zest, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and kosher salt. Stir well to coat the cranberries evenly.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a large baking dish, spreading the cranberries into an even layer.

Step 5

Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through. The cranberries should burst and the mixture should thicken slightly by the end of cooking.

Step 6

Remove the dish from the oven and let the cranberry sauce cool for 10-15 minutes. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.

Step 7

Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
