Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Measuring cups
  • Cutting board + sharp knife

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 cup fresh or frozen cranberries 12 oz package
  • 1 orange (optional)

Instructions

  • In a small sauce pan, add 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and stir. Turn the heat one notch below high.
  • When sugar is melted, add cranberries. Peel small orange in one long piece to easily remove later. Slice orange into thirds above and below the equator so that the orange flavor infuses the cranberries. Add to cranberries.
  • Keep on medium high heat. Cook until most cranberries have burst then turn the heat off.
  • Remove the pot from heat. Let cool completely at room temperature, then transfer to a bowl to chill in the refrigerator if desired. Note that the cranberry sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
