Ingredients
- 3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice about 2 medium oranges
- zest grated from 1 large orange about 2 teaspoons
- 1 cup granulated sugar 200g
- 12 ounces (340g) cranberries
- big pinch of salt
Instructions
- Zest one orange then squeeze the juice out of 2 oranges. Measure out 3/4 cup of juice.
- Add orange juice, orange zest, and sugar into a medium pot.
- Bring to a boil then simmer for 4-5 minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the juice has thickened a bit.
- Add the cranberries, simmer for 6-8 minutes until all the cranberries have burst.
- The sauce will look too runny at this point but don't worry all the liquid will turn into jelly when the sauce has cooled down.
- Stir in the salt and let the sauce cool and thicken.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- You can reduce the sugar amount to 3/4 of a cup (150g), if you want it less sweet. The sauce will be still sweet with a hint of tartness. I wouldn't reduce it more.
- The sauce can be made several days in advance. Reheat it in a pot.
- Calories = 1 serving (1/8 of the recipe). This is only an estimate!
