Ingredients:
12 oz fresh cranberries (3 cups)
1 cup sugar
Juice from one orange
1 strip of orange peel
Instructions
On low heat, cook cranberries, sugar, and orange juice in a saucepan. Twist and squeeze the orange peel and add to the mixture. Stir the ingredients until coated with sugar and allow to cook for 10 minutes, or until the cranberries soften. Turn the heat up to medium and cook until the mixture begins to boil and the cranberries burst, about another 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir, allowing the sauce to thicken. Refrigerate the sauce and place in a serving bowl when ready.
