Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 0.5 cups fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups water
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the cranberries thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh orange juice, water, and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the cranberries, orange zest, ground cinnamon, and salt to the saucepan. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
Step 4
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the cranberries to simmer. Stir occasionally.
Step 5
Cook until the cranberries begin to burst and the sauce thickens slightly, about 10-12 minutes. For a smoother sauce, use the back of a spoon to press some of the cranberries against the side of the pan.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the sauce cool to room temperature; it will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 7
Transfer the cooled cranberry sauce to a serving dish or an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until ready to serve.
Step 8
Serve the cranberry sauce chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy it as a side dish or condiment with your favorite holiday recipes!
