- Prep Time: 5
- Cook Time: 10
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: Serves 8
Ingredients
Units
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt
- 1 (12-ounce) bag fresh cranberries
- 2 tablespoons orange liqueur - such as Triple sec or Grand Marnier (you can also use orange juice as a substitute)
Instructions
- Place the water and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Stir in the orange zest and cranberries and bring to a boil. Reduce to medium and simmer until slightly thickened, and about 1/2 of the cranberries have popped open, about 5 minutes. Take off the heat and add the orange liqueur. Transfer to a non-reactive bowl (glass or ceramic) and cool to room temperature. Serve at room temp.
- The cranberry sauce can be refrigerated for up to 5 days. Let it stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.
