Ingredients
  
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 12 oz fresh cranberries rinsed
  • 2 tbsp orange zest
Recipe Instructions
 
  • In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, combine the sugar, orange juice, and water. Stir and bring to a boil (sugar will be dissolved).
  • Add cranberries and return to a boil.
  • Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer. Simmer for 10 - 15 minutes or until most of the berries have burst and it's thickened. It will thicken more even after you remove it from the heat.
  • Mix in the orange zest and transfer to a bowl and let cool until room temperature. Serve. If making ahead of time, cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
