Fresh homemade cranberry sauce is a cinch to make. This version is flavored with orange juice and orange zest, which elevates it into an elegant holiday dish. Serve with simple Roast Turkey and Gravy.

Ingredients

  • orange juice: 0.5 cup (fresh, from one orange)
  • water: 0.5 cup
  • sugar: 0.75 cup (plus 2 tablespoons)
  • cranberries: 1 bag ((12 oz) fresh or frozen cranberries (do not use dried))
  • orange zest: 2 tsp (from one orange + pinch salt)
