How to Make Cranberry And Orange Sauce

  1. Combine cranberries, orange zest, orange juice, sugar, water, cinnamon, and cloves (if using) in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely before serving. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
  5. Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
