Description
A delicious and tangy cranberry orange sauce perfect for the holiday season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 navel oranges (peeled with as much white pith removed as possible; or 1 cup orange juice)
- 1 pound fresh cranberries
- ½–¾ cup honey (or maple syrup)
- ¼ cup orange juice
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Add the oranges to a blender and blend until mostly smooth.
- Add oranges (or the orange juice, if using that instead) and the rest of the ingredients, starting with ½ cup honey, to a medium pot over medium-low heat.
- Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes or until the berries are softened and mostly broken down and the sauce has thickened nicely. Press down on the berries to help break them up as they cook.
- Remove from heat and taste for sweetness. If it’s too tart for your liking, add up to an additional ¼ cup honey.
- Spoon into jars and store in the fridge until ready to serve.
Notes
- This sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- It pairs well with turkey, chicken, or can be used as a spread on sandwiches.
