Ingredients
- 12 oz. fresh OR frozen cranberries (thawed and drained of excess moisture OR bag fresh cranberries (recommended))
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup orange juice
Instructions
- 1
Add bag of fresh cranberries, white sugar and orange juice in a large sauce pan and whisk together. Know that cranberries and the liquid will expand in the pot, so its best to have a deep pot to ensure nothing overboils.
- 2
Heat cranberry mixture over medium high, stirring occasionally.
- 3
After about 5 minutes on the stove, the cranberries will begin to sizzle and make noise as they pop and boil.
- 4
Once the cranberries begin to boil, reduce heat to medium low and continue to cook and stir for an additional 5-7 minutes or until most or all of the berries are popped open. Stir occasionally while in pot. Remove cranberry sauce from heat and let stand, off heat.

As mixture cools, the sauce will naturally begin to thicken. Spoon sauce into a serving dish, where cranberries can be served hot or completely cooled and served cold.
- 6
Store any left overs covered in the fridge for up to 7 days.
