Ingredients

  • 12 ounce bag fresh or frozen cranberries
  • ⅓ to ½ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 orange juiced
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest

Instructions

  • Rinse the cranberries and remove any shriveled or soft ones.
  • Add all the ingredients to a sauce pan and heat over medium high heat until it comes to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium low and cook until the berries pop and begin to break down. Be sure to stir frequently so the sauce doesn't burn. For thicker sauce, continue cooking until all the berries have broken down and the sauce thickens. You can press some of the berries with the back of a spoon to mash them if you desire.
  • Taste and add more sweetener if desired.
