List of Ingredients

â—¦ 1 orange
â—¦ 1 ½ pounds fresh or frozen cranberries
â—¦ 1 cup sugar
â—¦ 1 cinnamon stick


Recipe

Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from the orange in wide strips, leaving the bitter white pith behind. Juice the orange.

In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together the cranberries, sugar, orange zest and juice, cinnamon stick, and 3 tablespoons water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries begin to pop and the sauce thickens, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the orange zest and cinnamon stick and discard.

Transfer the cranberry sauce to a serving bowl and serve warm or at room temperature. Or let cool, then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days, then serve cold.
