Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, white and brown sugars, cinnamon and salt.
  • Cover with orange juice and water, stir to combine. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add more sugar or a drizzle of honey.
  • Bring mixture to slight boil, turn the heat down and simmer for 10-15 minutes (cranberries should 'pop') or until desired consistency. You can use a potato masher to gently mash the cranberries slightly while the sauce is still warm if you prefer a finer texture as opposed to the 'whole berry' consistency.
  • Spoon mixture into a serving bowl or airtight container to store until ready to serve. Let cool completely before serving.
  • You can make this ahead and store in the fridge for 2-3 days before serving if desired.
