Got 20 minutes? Make homemade cranberry sauce that beats the socks off of any you'll find in a can.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cups cranberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar + additional sugar if needed
2 teaspoons orange zest
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Rinse and sort the berries - if any are super mushy, discard them.
  • Place a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add cranberries, 1/2 cup sugar, orange zest, and water.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce comes to a boil.
  • Continue to boil until the sauce gets juicier and the berries burst and break down, about 15 minutes
  • Taste for sweetness. If it's too tart, add more sugar - about a tablespoon or two at a time - until the sweet/tart balance is just right for you.
  • Once you've found the perfect amount of sugar, stir and cook for another minute or so to make sure the sugar dissolves.
  • Remove from heat and let cool, then spoon into your serving container or an airtight container for storing.
  • Keeps for up to one week refrigerated in an airtight container, or for up to two months in the freezer.
