📖 Instructions
🍒 Combine Ingredients:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cranberries, maple syrup (or sugar), water, orange juice, zest, cinnamon, and salt.
🔥 Cook Until Berries Pop:
Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook for 10–15 minutes, or until most cranberries have burst and the sauce thickens. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
🍯 Add a Twist (Optional):
Stir in Grand Marnier or bourbon at the end for a grown-up flavor boost.
⏳ Cool & Serve:
Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until ready to serve. It can be made up to 5 days in advance.
🍽️ Tips & Variations:
Add a grated apple or pear for extra texture.
A pinch of ground ginger or clove adds a warm, spiced note.
Want it chunkier? Cook less. Smoother? Mash lightly with a spoon or purée for a silky finish.
