Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by rinsing the fresh cranberries under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Discard any that are soft or damaged.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed cranberries, water, granulated sugar, orange zest, cinnamon stick, and salt.

  3. 3

    Cook the Sauce

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.

  4. 4

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the cranberry sauce cool to room temperature. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
