How to Make Lemon Marmalade Cranberry Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 12 ounces fresh cranberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries have popped and released their juices, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in 1/2 cup lemon marmalade and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
  5. Transfer the cranberry sauce to a glass bowl or jar. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to fully develop and the sauce to thicken. Enjoy!
  6. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
