How to Make Favorite Cranberry Sauce
- Combine 12 ounces fresh cranberries, 1 cup orange juice, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup water, and optional orange zest in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Tie 6 whole cloves in a small piece of cheesecloth or a reusable spice bag. Submerge the spice bag into the cranberry mixture.
- Bring the mixture to a slow boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove the lid and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Remove the spice bag before serving. Allow the sauce to cool completely before serving for best flavor and texture. Enjoy!
