Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine orange juice and sugar. Bring to a boil.
Add the cranberries, and reduce the heat to medium.
Allow it to cook until you start to hear the cranberries popping.
With a wooden spoon or potato masher (what I use), smash down the cranberries until it reaches your desired texture.
Remove from heat and stir in the orange zest.
Allow sauce to cool for 20 minutes at room temperature. It will thicken as it cools.
Transfer to an air-tight container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for 3-6 months.
Notes
This recipe is super easy to scale. The ingredients listed make one batch but simply double or triple to create enough for a big crowd.
