Method
- In a medium saucepan, combine orange juice and sugar. Stir over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add cranberries and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the cranberries have burst and the sauce thickens.
- Remove from heat and stir in orange zest if desired. Let cool to room temperature; the sauce will thicken as it cools.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature with your favorite holiday meal.
Notes
This sauce can be made up to a week in advance and stored in the refrigerator. For a spiced version, add a cinnamon stick or a pinch of ground cloves while simmering.
