Homemade cranberry orange sauce requires only a few simple ingredients and minimal cooking. Fresh or frozen cranberries cook down with a mix of granulated and brown sugar to balance intense tartness. Fresh squeezed orange juice or 100% bottled juice adds citrus brightness while orange zest amplifies the citrus aroma. A cinnamon stick or other whole spices such as cloves or star anise deepen the flavor. The mixture is simmered until a thick sauce forms. The result is a fruity, sweet-tart, and spiced condiment suitable for holiday tables.
"There are only a few recipes I can think of that are easier than homemade cranberry sauce. How did I go so long without this knowledge? It simply involves combining a few ingredients and simmering until a thick sauce forms. Everyone around the table will be impressed by your cooking prowess (and you don't need to share your secrets!). Fresh cranberries are intensely tart, so you'll need a nice dose of sweetener to get that perfect sweet tart flavor."
"Fresh cranberries: You can also substitute frozen in a pinch: no need to thaw them. Granulated sugar and brown sugar: I like a mix of sugar types to bring the best, nuanced flavor. Orange juice: Of course, it's best with fresh squeezed orange juice: but 100% bottled juice works just as well. Orange zest: This really infuses the citrusy flavor. Cinnamon stick: Whole spices add incredible depth: you can even add a few whole cloves or star anise to the mix."
