Ingredients
- 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
- 1 cup Apple cider
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the cranberries under cold water and discard any that are shriveled or damaged.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider, granulated sugar, orange zest, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, and salt.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add the cranberries to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 5
Cook the cranberries, stirring occasionally, until they start to pop and break down, about 10-12 minutes.
Step 6
Use the back of a spoon to lightly mash some of the cranberries for a thicker texture, or leave them whole for a chunkier sauce.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the cranberry sauce cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
Step 8
Transfer the cooled cranberry sauce to a serving dish or an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to one week or serve immediately.
