Cranberry Glazed Turkey Breast

Recipe Source: Jo-Anna Rooney

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh cranberries
• 1 small sprig of fresh rosemary
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp orange juice

Directions:

1. Add the fresh cranberries, rosemary sprig, sugar, water and orange juice to a saucepan over low heat.
2. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries start to soften and the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
3. Turn up the heat to low-medium and continue to cook until the cranberries burst and the sauce is the consistency of jam. This takes about 10 minutes or so.
4. Remove the rosemary sprig, and any stray leaves that came off during cooking.
5. Mash the cranberry sauce until it is as smooth as possible (without large chunks of cranberry).
6. Set aside.
