How to Make Cranberry Sauce Karpalokastike

  1. Wash and thoroughly drain 12 ounces (340g) of fresh cranberries. Remove any soft, discolored berries, leaves, or stems.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries with 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, ½ cup (120ml) water, and 1/4 cup (30ml) orange juice.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  4. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. The sauce should be glossy and slightly jam-like.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool completely before serving. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
