How to Make Jalapeno Cranberry Sauce
- In a measuring cup, combine 1/2 cup orange juice with enough water to reach 1 cup total liquid.
- Combine 12 ounces fresh cranberries, 1 tablespoon orange zest, the 1 cup orange juice mixture, 2 tablespoons tequila (optional), and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a large saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once cranberries start to pop (about 5-7 minutes), add 1-2 finely chopped jalapenos (adjust to your spice preference). Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- If the sauce is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Remove from heat. Transfer the sauce to a bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
