Homemade Cranberry Sauce

🧂 Ingredients

• 3 cups fresh cranberries

  (about one 12-ounce bag)
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup fresh orange juice

  (from about 1 orange)
• ¼ cup water
• ¾ Tablespoon ground cinnamon
• A few slivers of orange zest

  (optional)

Instructions

• 1 Rinse the cranberries and pick out any that are soft or damaged.
• 2 In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, both sugars, orange juice, water,
  and cinnamon.
• 3 Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir
  occasionally and cook until the sugars dissolve.
• 4 Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10–15 minutes, or until the
  cranberries start to burst and the sauce thickens. Stir occasionally to prevent
  sticking.
• 5 Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly. It will thicken as it
  cools. Serve warm or at room temperature.
