Ingredients
- 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
- 6 ounces Fresh raspberries
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Orange juice
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the cranberries and raspberries thoroughly under cold water. Set the raspberries aside for later use.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, granulated sugar, orange juice, and water.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Step 4
Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the cranberries burst and the mixture starts to thicken slightly.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the cranberry mixture cool for 5 minutes.
Step 6
Gently fold in the fresh raspberries and orange zest, being careful not to mash the raspberries completely.
Step 7
Transfer the sauce to a serving dish and allow it to cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Step 8
Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added aroma before serving.
Step 9
