Martha's textbook cranberry sauce teams whole berries with bright orange (zested and juiced) and spicy cinnamon. Use any leftovers to make Cranberry Swirl Cheesecake or Chicken a la Cranberry.

Time 25m

Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

24 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries (6 cups)
1 1/4 cups sugar
4 wide strips orange zest, plus 1 cup fresh juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar, orange zest and juice, cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until cranberries burst and mixture thickens slightly, 12 to 15 minutes. (Sauce will thicken more as it cools.) Remove from heat; let cool completely. Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 week.
