How to Make Orange Cranberry Sauce

  1. Combine 1 cup orange marmalade, ½ cup orange juice, and 1 cinnamon stick in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Add 12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries to the saucepan. Return to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low, simmer, and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce has thickened, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat. Stir in ¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg (optional). Remove the cinnamon stick.
  5. Let the sauce cool completely before serving. The flavors will meld beautifully as it cools.
