Peel the ripe plantains and cut them into 1-inch diagonal slices.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the plantain slices in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the fresh cranberries, orange juice, brown sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, salt, and water.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
Using a spoon or small masher, break down any remaining whole cranberries to create a smoother sauce. Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more honey or sugar if desired.
Return the fried plantains to the skillet over low heat. Pour the cranberry sauce over the plantains, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Serve warm as a side dish or dessert. Enjoy the balance of sweet and tangy flavors!
