Quick, easy and classic, this cranberry sauce recipe takes only 10 minutes to make.
Ingredients
2 cups frozen cranberries
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
orange zest, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Combine cranberries with orange juice and sugar in a medium saucepan set over medium-high. Boil, stirring occasionally, until liquid reduces by half, about 5 min.
Mash cranberries with a whisk or potato masher. Continue cooking, stirring often, until sauce thickens to a very loose jam-like consistency, 3 to 5 min. Scrape into a serving bowl and let cool to room temperature. Sprinkle with zest. (Sauce will thicken as it cools.)
Kitchen tip
Sauce can be prepared 2 days in advance and refrigerated.
