Homemade Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients

• 340 g cranberries ((fresh or frozen))
• 2/3 cup water
• 1/4 orange ((juice and zest))
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 cinnamon stick

Instructions

1. 1

   Place the cranberries in a strainer and wash them. Pick out and discard any stems or bruised/damaged cranberries.

2. 2

   Place a sauce pan on the stove at medium heat. Pour the water, granulated sugar and brown sugar into the pot and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.

3. 3

   Add the cranberries, orange juice and zest, and the cinnamon stick to the pot. Stir everything together and bring to a boil.

4. 4

   Lower the heat and simmer until the cranberries burst and thicken (about 10-15 minutes). Stir occassionally as the sauce simmers to prevent the cranberries sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.

5. 5

   Remove the pot from the stove and let the sauce cool to room temperature.

6. 6

   Spoon the sauce into a clean, airtight container and chill in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
