- 2 tbsp Chopped walnuts

Directions
Step 1
Rinse and dry the fresh cranberries. In a small saucepan, combine the cranberries and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until the cranberries start to pop and soften. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.

Stir in the honey, orange zest, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.

Fold in the cooled cranberries and chopped walnuts. Stir gently to ensure an even distribution of ingredients without crushing the nuts.

Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Step 6
Refrigerate the spread for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
