Orange Cranberry Sauce Recipe
This traditional cranberry sauce gets some extra tanginess from the addition of fresh orange juice and orange zest.
Servings: 3 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup water
- ¼ cup fresh orange juice
- 1 (12 ounce) bag fresh cranberries
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
Instructions
- Dissolve the sugar. Add sugar, water and orange juice to a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until small bubbles begin to form at the edges of the pan.
- Cook the cranberries. Reduce the heat to medium and add the cranberries and salt. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently. The cranberries will begin to pop as they cook. Continue cooking until the desired consistency is reached.
- Cool and serve. Remove from heat and stir in the orange zest. Let cool before serving.
Notes
If you are serving as a side dish you can add a splash of ruby port when you add the orange zest.
