Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup 100% orange juice
- 1/2 cup 100% cranberry juice or use more orange juice
- 1 (12-ounce) bag cranberries
- Salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar gently packed, use light or dark
Instructions
- Wash and dry cranberries. Check for any stems or damaged berries and remove them.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine orange juice, cranberry juice, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugars dissolve completely.
- Stir in the cranberries and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 7–12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Watch closely, as the sauce may bubble up. Some cranberries will burst, while others remain whole—mash them as desired. (If the sauce thickens too quickly, lower the heat. If it’s not thickening, increase the heat slightly.)
- Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes
