Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine orange juice and sugar. Bring to a simmer and add in cranberries.
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens. Watch carefully, as sauce will start to bubble up and can boil over easily.
- Remove from heat. Stir in orange zest. Transfer to a bowl or serving dish and allow sauce to cool. It will continue to thicken as it sets.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
Orange cranberry sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance. Keep refrigerated in an air-tight container and stir before serving.
