Description

This easy, holiday cranberry sauce recipe is made with the zest and juice of two whole oranges for a little zing of citrus in every bite.

Ingredients

2 medium oranges
1 pound fresh cranberries
1 cup white sugar
1 1/4 cups water, or as needed to cover

Directions

1 Zest and juice oranges; set juice aside.
2 Combine cranberries, sugar, and orange zest in a saucepan; stir to combine. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook until cranberries begin to burst, 5 to 10 minutes.
3 Reduce the heat to low, stir in orange juice, and simmer until flavors blend, about 1 hour.
4 Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Refrigerate until jelled, at least 1 hour.
