- 6 ounces dried cranberries (175g)
- ½ cup cranberry juice (120ml)
- 1 cup water (240ml)
- ½ cup white sugar (100g)
- ½ cup brown sugar (100g)
- juice of half and orange
- orange zest to serve
Add all of the ingredients to a small pot and place on a medium high heat.
Bring to a simmer.
Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes til the sauce has thickened and the cranberries have plumped up.
Let cool before serving. As it cools, the sauce will thicken further.
- The sauce will thicken as it cools thanks to the pectin in the cranberries. To loosen it back up, you can reheat it and add in a little water.
- I think this has cranberry sauce has the perfect balance of sweetness. Taste it when it’s done and add a little honey, maple syrup or other liquid sweetener if you prefer it sweeter. If you add granulated sugar you can end up with a grainy sauce.
