How to Make Oranged Cranberry Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 12 ounces of fresh or frozen cranberries, the zest of 1 large orange, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, and 1/2 cup of packed light brown sugar.
  2. Add 1/2 cup of water (or more, as needed to ensure the cranberries are fully submerged). Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
  3. Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low and simmer gently, uncovered, for approximately 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will begin to thicken as the cranberries break down. Do not overcook.
  4. After 45-60 minutes, or when you reach your desired thickness, taste the sauce and adjust sweetness by adding more brown sugar, if needed. Continue simmering until you achieve a good, thick consistency.
  5. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container for refrigeration. This allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken further.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
