Ingredients
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and orange juice (or water). Stir constantly over medium heat until the sugar completely dissolves.
Increase heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, about 2–3 minutes.
Add all the cranberries at once. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most cranberries have burst and the sauce thickens.
Remove from heat and stir in cinnamon and orange zest if using. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Let cool completely before serving or storing.
