Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- Zest of 1 medium orange
- Juice of 1 medium orange
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Place the cranberries in a colander and rinse with cold water. Discard any shriveled or damaged cranberries.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, maple syrup, orange zest, orange juice, and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have broken down and thickened into a compote, about 20 minutes. The cranberries will pop, don't be scared:) The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Remove the cranberry sauce from the heat and stir in the cinnamon. Let cool completely at room temperature, then transfer to a bowl to chill in the refrigerator.
