Makes about 2 cups
(4-6 servings)

Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup water
• 4 cups (1 12 oz.package) fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped
• 2 Tbsp. orange zest, from 1 orange

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Cranberries should be softened and the mixture should coat the back of a wooden spoon.

Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Place in a serving bowl or jar(s), cover and chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Cranberry sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
