Ingredients

  • 12 oz fresh or frozen cranberries washed and picked through
  • 1/2 cup orange juice freshly squeezed, if possible
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • pinch cinnamon optional
  • pinch cayenne optional
  • orange zest for garnish

Instructions

  • Combine orange juice, honey, cranberries, and salt in a medium non-reactive saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until slightly thickened and most of the berries have burst, about 5-15 minutes. Add extra water or orange juice if it's too thick. Mix in optional spices if desired. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool for at least 1 hour. Can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 1 week. Garnish with orange zest and serve.
