Makes about 2 cups
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, tightly packed
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 4 cups (1 12-ounce package) fresh or frozen cranberries
- Cinnamon or pieces of cinnamon stick
- Zest from one orange
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Place the cranberries in a colander and rinse them, picking out the duds as you go.
Put the water, orange juice, sugars, all but 1/4 cup cranberries, and the cinnamon or cinnamon stick in a medium saucepan on high heat and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes or until the cranberries have burst.
Once the cranberries have burst, add the orange zest and remaining cranberries and season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove the cinnamon stick, if you used it.
Let cool completely at room temperature, taste and season again, then transfer to a bowl to chill in the refrigerator. Note that the cranberry sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. read more words!
