Ingredients

  • 12 oz fresh cranberries one bag
  • 4 clementines or 1 large orange zested and juiced
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar

Instructions

  • Zest the rind of two clementines, set aside. Make sure not to get the white parts of the orange in the zest as it's bitter.
  • Extract the juice of all 4 clementines and measure to get 1/2 cup.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat water, sugar, and clementine juice together to dissolve sugar. Once dissolved, add cranberries.
  • Gently simmer cranberries for 8-10 minutes, or until all the berries have softened and popped open.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in clementine zest.
  • Cool and place in a covered container. Keep chilled in the fridge until ready to serve.
  • This cranberry sauce can be made up to three days in advance.
