Serves: 3 cups
Ingredients
  • 1 (12 ounce) bag (about 3 cups) washed cranberries (picked over for rotten or squished cranberries)
  • zest and juice of 1 orange
  • ¾ cup apple cider
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
Instructions
  1. Pour washed cranberries into a medium-sized pot.
  2. Add the zest of the orange.
  3. Squeeze the orange juice into a measuring cup and then fill the measuring cup to the 1 cup mark with apple cider. You may need more or less than ¾ cup of apple cider depending on the juiciness of your orange.
  4. Pour the orange juice/apple cider into the pot. Add the cinnamon stick, honey and brown sugar.
  5. Bring the cranberry mixture to a low boil over medium heat. You'll hear the cranberries popping. Turn the stove down to low and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Turn the stove off and let the sauce cool completely before serving. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
  7. Store in a covered container in the fridge for up to 10 days. You can also freeze the leftovers.
Notes
If you don't have a cinnamon stick, you can substitute ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
