How to Make Orange Cinnamon Cranberry Sauce
- Combine 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup orange juice in a medium saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Add 12 ounces (about 3 cups) fresh or frozen cranberries to the saucepan.
- Bring the cranberries back to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons orange liqueur (optional, Grand Marnier or Cointreau recommended), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and the zest of 1 orange.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 10-12 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled!
