How to make it

  • In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, orange zest, cinnamon, orange juice, and brown sugar. Add enough water to cover (***DO NOT ADD TOO MUCH WATER, as that will greatly increase cooking time***) Bring to a boil over high heat. Immediately reduce heat, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the sauce has thickened (I like mine extra thick, and cook it about 3 or 4 hours.) Taste for sweetness, and adjust with additional sugar if necessary. You can not overcook, so continue cooking until you have a good thick consistency. Let mixture cool, then refrigerate in a covered container.

    I feel the same way, I've been making my own sauce for a few years now, and it beats canned by a mile! Thanks, nice recipe!
