Homemade Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients:

• 12 ounces fresh cranberries
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 orange, zested and juiced
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Rinse the cranberries under cold water and remove any stems or damaged berries.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine water, sugar, and orange juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
3. Add the cranberries, orange zest, cinnamon, and salt to the saucepan.
4. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
5. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
