Ingredients
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 pound cranberries
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
Instructions
1. Add sugars, water and orange juice to a large skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugars dissolve.
2. Add in cranberries and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and simmer for 10 minutes. Cranberries will burst open and thicken during this time. In the last minute of cooking, I recommend CAREFULLY tasting the sauce (it will be hot), to see if it is sweet enough for your taste. If not, add a touch more sugar.
3. Remove from heat and allow to fully cool. Before serving, serve with orange zest.
