- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the cranberries thoroughly under cold water and discard any that are bruised or damaged.

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, orange juice, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved.

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the cranberry sauce cool to room temperature. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
