This festive Orange Blossom Cranberry Sauce, sweetened with honey, features zesty orange and warm cinnamon flavors that make it an irresistible homemade alternative to store-bought options.
Discard any bad cranberries in the 12 oz of fresh cranberries.
2
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the cranberries, 1/3 cup water, 1/4 cup orange juice, and 1/2 cup honey. Bring to a boil.
3
Reduce heat to low and let the sauce thicken for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the cranberries burst and the sauce reaches the desired thickness. Keep in mind that the sauce will thicken more as it cools.
4
Remove saucepan from heat and stir in 1 tsp orange zest, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp salt.
5
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. Be cautious while tasting, as it will be hot.
6
Transfer the sauce to a sealed container and refrigerate until ready to serve. Allow the sauce to come to room temperature before serving. The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
