- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 6 servings
- Category: Side Dish
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 cup water
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, water, sugar (or honey/maple syrup), orange juice, orange zest, cinnamon, and cloves (if using). Give everything a good stir to make sure the sugar is evenly distributed.
- Bring to a Boil: Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. You’ll start to see the cranberries burst and release their juices.
- Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries have softened and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. I learned after testing this a few times that the sauce will thicken more as it cools, so don’t worry if it seems a little thin at first.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the cranberry sauce cool completely. As it cools, it will thicken up beautifully. Transfer to a serving dish and refrigerate until ready to serve.
