Orange Cranberry Sauce
The cranberries burst into a tart-sweet symphony, while the cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg weave in cozy warmth. Then comes the orange—zesty and bright—cutting through the richness like a holiday sunrise.
Equipment
- Pot
Ingredients
- 2 Packs Fresh Cranberries
- 2 Cups Sugar
- 1/3 Cup Water
- 1/4 Tsp. Cinnamon
- 1/2 Tsp. Ground Allspice
- 1/4 Tsp. Ground Nutmeg
- 1 Orange Zested and Juiced
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, water, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the cranberries begin to pop—about 5-7 minutes. The kitchen will smell like holiday heaven.
- Stir in the orange zest and juice. Let it bubble gently for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries soften and the sauce thickens to your liking. It’ll set more as it cools, so don’t worry if it looks a little loose.
- Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature. Transfer to a bowl or jar—make extra, because this gem disappears fast. Chill in the fridge if you like it cold, but it’s just as good warm.
