Cranberry Orange Sauce is a staple of Thanksgiving and holiday / fall recipes.  Cranberry orange relish is UBER easy to make / cook.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz whole fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 orange, juiced and zested
  • ~⅓ to ½ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Zest the orange and set zest aside for garnish. 
  • Juice the orange.
  • Add cranberries, sugar, orange juice (should be at least ½ cup) and ⅓ cup water to small pot.  Stir, cover and bring to a low boil. 
  • Uncover pot, reduce heat to simmer, and cook (stirring occasionally)  ~12 minutes or until cranberries are audibly and visually "popping" and cranberry sauce is thickened.
  • If sauce is too thick, add water 2 Tbsp at a time until desired thickness (note: sauce will continue to thicken as it cools). 
  • Add salt to taste (careful it's hot!).  Garnish with desired amount of fresh orange zest.  Serve hot or cold.  Happy Eating!  Beckie

Notes

  • This sauce is a great recipe as is, but get creative with spices you may like.  Add a cinnamon stick or a bit of pumpkin pie spice, all spice, or cardamom.
  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries for this recipe. The sauce will thicken as it cools and can be made the day before.
