Instructions
 

  • Empty 1 12 ounce bag of fresh cranberries into a sauce pot.

  • Slice the oranges or separate the segments. Add them to the cranberries and the zest.

Notes

Tips:

 
  1. Be sure to zest just the outer, dark orange part of the orange.
  2. This sauce will be slightly chunky in texture. If you feel it should be smoother, puree it with an emersion blender or in a food processor.
