Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh cranberries one 12 ounce bag
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large oranges zested and juiced (about 1 cup of juice)
Instructions
- Add the cranberries, sugar, orange juice, and orange zest to a small saucepan. Stir to combine.
- Bring the pan to a boil over medium-high heat, and then reduce to a simmer, and cook until the cranberries burst, and the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
- Remove the cranberry sauce from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Place in a jar and refrigerate to chill before serving.
- Cranberry sauce can be made in advance and refrigerated for up to 1 week, or frozen for up to a month.
