Yield Makes about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 medium navel orange, seeds removed, chopped
1 lb. fresh (or frozen) cranberries
1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 (3"-long) cinnamon stick
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • Place orange in a large saucepan and pour in cold water to come 1" up sides of pan. Bring to a boil, then remove immediately from heat and drain orange in a mesh sieve or colander. Rinse under cold water; return to saucepan. Add cranberries, sugar, butter, cinnamon, allspice, and salt and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Cook, stirring often and reducing heat as needed to avoid scorching, until cranberries burst, juices are syrupy, and pan is visible when a wooden spoon is dragged across the bottom, 12-15 minutes. Let cool.
  • Do Ahead
  • Sauce can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill.
