How to Make Cranberry Sauce

  • STEP 1.Rinse the cranberries thoroughly and pick out any soft or bruised ones. Measure the sugar, water, and orange juice.
  • STEP 1.In a medium saucepan, mix cranberries, sugar, water, and orange juice. Turn the heat to medium-high and stir until the sugar dissolves.
  • STEP 2.Once the mixture starts bubbling, reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries pop and the sauce thickens.
  • STEP 3.Stir in the orange zest for added depth. This step is optional but highly recommended!
  • STEP 4.Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.
