How to Make Cranberry Apricot Sauce

  1. Combine 12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries, 1 (15-ounce) can apricot halves, drained, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup orange zest, and 1/4 cup maple syrup (or other sweetener to taste) in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low.
  3. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have popped and the sauce has thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
  5. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
