Ingredients
- 300 grams Fresh cranberries
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters Water
- 60 milliliters Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the cranberries under cool water and discard any damaged or soft berries.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water, orange juice, sugar, orange zest, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir frequently until the sugar dissolves completely, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add the cranberries to the saucepan and stir to combine.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer.
Step 6
Cook the cranberries for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries burst and the sauce begins to thicken. For a smoother sauce, use the back of a wooden spoon to gently mash some of the cranberries.
Step 7
Taste the sauce and adjust sweetness or salt if necessary.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the cranberry sauce cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.
Step 9
Transfer to a serving bowl or an airtight container. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to a week.
