How to Make Honey Cranberry Sauce
- Combine 1 (12-ounce) bag fresh or frozen cranberries, 1 cup honey, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup water, 2 cinnamon sticks, and 1 bay leaf in a medium saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until the cranberries burst and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Carefully remove the cinnamon sticks and bay leaf using tongs or a slotted spoon.
- Remove from heat and let the sauce cool completely. This allows the flavors to meld.
- Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to 4 days) to allow the flavors to deepen. The sauce will thicken further as it chills.
