Print Pin
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 8

Equipment

  • Large saucepan
  • Citrus juicer
  • Zester

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh orange juice (or you can use bottled)
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 12-ounce bags of fresh cranberries
  • zest of one orange
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Bring orange juice, water and sugar to a boil in a large saucepan. 
  • Add cranberries, orange zest and salt and bring back to a boil, stirring often (cranberry skins will start to burst open at this point).
  • Reduce heat to medium and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Carefully transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with more orange zest, and chill until you’re ready to serve (you can make this the night before to save time and stovetop space on Thanksgiving Day).
