Homemade Cranberry Sauce

🧂 Ingredients

• 7 cups cranberries

  (fresh or frozen)
• 1.5 cups white sugar
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 orange zest
• 1 cup water
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

• 1 Rinse the cranberries and remove any damaged ones.
• 2 In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, water, orange juice, sugar, cinnamon
  stick, orange zest, and a pinch of salt.
• 3 Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low.
• 4 Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and
  the sauce thickens.
• 5 Remove from heat and let cool completely—it will continue to thicken as it
  cools.
• 6 Discard the cinnamon stick before serving.
• 7 Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
  
  Freezer: Freeze in a sealed container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge
  overnight.
  
  Make-Ahead: Tastes even better after a day or two as the flavors develop.
  
  Reheating: Enjoy cold, at room temp, or warm it gently on the stovetop.
