Bright, simple, and one less thing to make while everyone is arriving.

- Prep
- 5 minutes
- Cook
- 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 12 oz (340 g) fresh or frozen cranberries
- 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) orange juice
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) water
- 1 tsp finely grated orange zest
Method
- Combine sugar, orange juice, and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Add cranberries. Return to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most berries burst and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove from the heat and stir in orange zest. The sauce will thicken more as it cools.
- Transfer to a serving dish and cool before serving, or refrigerate in a covered container.
