Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
- ½ cup orange juice
- ½ cup water
- 1 cup brown sugar light or dark
Optional add-ins:
- A cinnamon stick, orange zest, chopped pecans, raisins, a pinch of nutmeg or allspice, maple syrup, diced apples, fresh grated ginger, or a splash of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a medium saucepan.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat until it starts to boil. Lower the heat and let it gently simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, or until most of the cranberries pop open. Be cautious as they might splatter. The mixture will thicken as it cooks and will firm up further as it cools.
- Pour the sauce into a serving dish or container and let it cool at room temperature for at least 20 minutes.
- Once cooled, cover it tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
