How to Make Apricot Cranberry Sauce Beats Canned Cranberry Sauce By Far
- Combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves completely.
- Add 12 ounces fresh cranberries and 1 cup chopped dried apricots to the saucepan.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 6-8 minutes, or until the cranberry skins have mostly burst and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of orange zest. Let cool completely before serving. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the sauce to reach its ideal consistency. Serve chilled.
