This warm cranberry sauce is bright, cozy, and just the right mix of tart and sweet. Fresh cranberries cook down with orange and a little maple syrup to make a soft, jammy sauce that feels like the holidays. It’s full of antioxidants and adds a beautiful splash of color to your plate. I love it year after year!
Ingredients:
3 cups fresh cranberries
1 medium orange, zest + juice
1 medium apple, peeled and grated
⅓ cup pure maple syrup (adjust to taste)
½ cup water
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of sea salt
Instructions:
Add the cranberries, orange zest, orange juice, grated apple, water, and cinnamon to a medium saucepan.
Stir in the maple syrup and a small pinch of salt.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Once the cranberries start to pop, reduce the heat to low.
Cook until the mixture thickens and becomes soft and jammy, about 12–15 minutes.
Taste and add more maple syrup if you want more sweetness.
Cool slightly before serving.
