Cranberry Sauce - the perfect sauce to bring your Thanksgiving plate to the next level. Tart, sweet, tangy and ready in under 30 minutes - this make ahead sauce will become a staple on your table!
Ingredients
1 12-ounce package of cranberries
¾ cup of sugar (note: I like my cranberry sauce on the tart side – you could always add closer to a cup of sugar if you like yours less tart)
½-1 cup of water
Zest of 1 orange (tip: zest the orange first then use the same one to juice)
Juice of 1 an orange
A dash of salt
Instructions
Rinse your cranberries in a colander and pick out any mushy or unripe ones.
Combine all the ingredients along with ½ cup water.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and stir while sugar dissolves.
Reduce heat to a simmer and add water if necessary.
Simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cranberries all burst and the sauce is a bit thick.
The sauce will thicken up significantly when cooling so remove when it's somewhere between a soupy and stewy consistency.
If you prepared it early, you can warm it up and add a bit of water to achieve the desired texture.
