Ingredients
  

  • 1 (12-ounce) bag fresh or frozen cranberries (rinsed)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 strips orange zest
  • pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook and stir for 10 minutes until all the cranberries have popped.
  • Let cool for 30 minutes, then it's ready to use. If the sauce is too thick, add a tiny bit of water at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. The sauce keeps for 2 weeks in the fridge.
